Well, i did some testing and using Chris Tonys patched scsi.device (a3000 version) and setting it as a parameter for the arosbootstrap, I was able to get it booting. I also tried the mntgfx.card P96 card file to get va2000 support. I was not able to get the boot logo displayed with the va2000, but it might work when actually booting the os. But currently the boot ends up after some time to Workbench screen with a small window reading Mount FA... Error (Attachment).

Uh, releasing something Amiga related as a Zip archive is never a good idea. Zip archives just mess all file attributes, don't preserve exact time stamps, and lose all file comments, to name few issues with them. It's an absolutely no-go with an OS release. Besides those executable protection bits, I bet it also lost pure and script bits too... and the whole OS doesn't work as intented anymore.

Has there been any further development of this recently?

Yesterday I downloaded, extracted and tried to run this on my real Amiga (see sig for details). I didn't get any warnings of duplicate files on extraction.

It boots and loads the kickstart alternative but, like some others, it then just resets to a light grey screen and stops - I presume it crashes because the floppy drive clicks once and then stops too.

I tried booting from an SD card and from a real IDE drive with the same results.
