How exactly does an amiga start up

[Hyperspeed]

I thought we'd solved this on the other thread?

I posted that picture of MakeCD's booting options... I think the key to triggering the kickstart to S:Startup-Sequence is in the bootblock/RDB.

Am I missing your point?

[Hyperspeed]

Well I meant the inner track, the bit that tickles the CD32's bits!

:-D

An explanation of booting would be very welcome. I saw on a thread once a small 50MB 8cm CD that autobooted Linux. It'd be great to be able to autoboot an emergency CD with an OS install.

Someone mentioned the PPCs have a filesystem in their ROM and I seem to think the SCSI-IV kit might too...(?)

I'll make the sandwiches... AMIGAZ - you can make a pot of tea

:-D

Piru: CONGRATULATIONS! You've WON the Boring Person Award!

Allow me to present you with the prize! *SMACK*

[Hyperspeed]

Objection, Your Honour! The witness's statement was too long and littered with low-level jargon!

:-D

Anyway, what's the chance of BlizKick being able to help in the CD autobooting process? Could it be an unlikely saviour?

[Hyperspeed]

Hah, I'm only teasing. I always read Piru's posts thoroughly, it's just between the beggining and end of this one I evolved into a different sub-species.

:-D

What about the Zorro Kickflash device, doesn't this pre-load data before anything tries to boot?
