My AmigaOS 3.2 wishlist!

[HammerD]

With 3.9 (and 3.X etc) kickstart one can press the help-key instead of holding both mouse buttons to enter early boot menu, with default 3.1.4 kickstart you can not, it seems - so amiga mouse becomes a requirement, even when you wish to use usb mouse or serial port attached mouse.

The point is to set it _before_ you boot, at the Boot menu.  If you have multiple boot partitions, some of which will do a double reboot due to Rom Updates/SetPatch.  Of course I know you can do it in HDToolbox, but it's too late at that point.

So then you use this tool to specify which device to boot from next time...

Think of it as a ram-resident early-startup preference program, that lets you specify which device to boot from, which devices to hide etc, just as if you had selected it in early startup menu. In addition to specifying default screen mode.

But yes, something like this should/could be part of the OS.
