morphos 2.1 install efika

[zyphoid]

Problem solved my error was installing old ver on top of new boot.img
edit:

Any work around this?Efika:

Download MorphOS-2.1-efikainstall.img and put it in the root directory of a USB mass storage device.
Insert the USB device into a USB port on the Efika.
In order to have access to a mouse and keyboard while you are installing from a USB device, we suggest you use a USB hub to connect these input devices.
Turn on your Efika.
Press escape on the keyboard until you reach the Open Firmware prompt.
At the Open Firmware prompt, type:
> boot scsi:0 MorphOS-2.0-efikainstall.img
MorphOS will now start booting. Please be patient. This may take a short while. Once it is done booting, click on the iWizard icon and start the download of the full MorphOS ISO..
Please note that the default ISO download directory is ram: - however the ISO will not fit there. Therefore, you must manually adjust the download path to match the partition you are installing MorphOS to.

are we to type MorphOS-2.0 or 2.1?
I may have messed up!

if not then how does 2.1 come into play?

some how dead in the water and can't boot any help?

I mean i knew that and started it that way, but the usb kept dropping so couldn't install, i downloaded it from sputnik then tried accessing it there, but when i got to the dl opt i didn't know what to do there so i tried to back out, and that's when all hell broke loose! now i cant boot, cant reinstall (keeps dropping usb) and installboot works but no usb. i think its reading the formatted drives and then dropping the firmware usb.

now im thinking trhat i have to reformat huh? and if so how from firmware?

I dont know how someone can mess up typing the following at a OF prompt:

I did that and it started loading..about a minute later I'm at the iWizard and installing 2.1.  works here :-?

NOT IN THE MOOD DUDE THE THREAD SAID USB KEEPS DROPPING!!!
WITHOUYT THAT, YOU CANT GO ON
IM HAVING OTHER ISSUES READ THE ENTIRE THREAT B4 POSTING

@soviet
you said that you renamed, but you need boot hd:0 not hd0:0 i think

@fab
the drop comes at ambient screen prior or during wizard
all my drives boot then(icons) but like i said they don't boot during openfirmware, it hangs on the op prompt after the 5-1 countdown, or ent key.  early menu cant be accessed either.

virtually i'm stuck!!

theusb was the one i initally used but i'll try another

Have you tried a different USB-stick? Maybe a different USB hub? At work we are having loads of problems with USB hubs, some of them just doesn't work correctly. I had some troubles with OF recognizing my USB-stick, but eventually it started to work, don't know why I had the problems.
Hmm btw I have to check if this problem is corrected with MOS 2.1

@Painkiller  ;-)  :-D

[zyphoid]

tried new stick  got iwiz going and it always stops installation at 4459files copied with an error. this just plain stinks

edit: again installing wrong ver of os. my bad!!

[zyphoid]

@TheMagicM
actually i have the same setup as you in regards to key/mouse combo... and at times i had to use the keyboard to cross a file from drive to drive due to it dropping only the mouse! yea i thought that was strange.
anyway not to offend the usb package author... i'll refrain from saying anything about that.  instead reformatting the boot partition in hopes of starting on fresh drive.  I copied files to the non boot part dh:1, and tried installing from there, but even doing that initially ended with an error after 4459 files copied, which is right at the end, but enough to mess up the process from being complete or booting. I get the feeling after all that i've put into getting it set up, that i'm now not going to enjoy the update from lack of being installed.  l8r guys at 92% after 2.5 hrs cya!  :getmad:

What are the odd? yep everything was going as it should
1. files freshly dl to usb stick inserted into efika
2. turned it on esc. boot scsi:0 morphos-2.1-efikainstall.img
3. booted without dropping usb(changed stick)
4. began install on iwiz
5. next all the way to prompt on morph2.0 file edit:<---that was the problem 2.0 should be 2.1!!!!!!!!
6. selected freshly formatted sfs dh0: partition
7. again install stopped at 4459 files!!!


 :getmad: anyway i had the files also on the drive, so i dragged them over to the boot drive.

it boots, but how can i confirm i have the update?

edit: my guess is no, us*(not to offend) hung and no song on an mp3.
I'm happy for everyone else :roll:
