Title: Pegasos I and MorphOS - n00b info wanted
Post by: McVenco on December 18, 2006, 01:48:45 PM
Hey all,

I've just bought a Pegasos 1 board (well, not completely, I still have to pay for it, but the deal is made), but I'm completely new to Peg/MOS, so I'm looking for the most basic information possible on how to get this board to life (I still need a case+psu, harddisk etc, but that's minor stuff).

If anyone can point me to a website/manual (there's no info with the board, only a MorphOS CD - don't know which version), I'd be very thankful.

I already registered on Morphzone.org, so I will check the forums there as well.

adTHANKSvance,
Eric

Here are the manuals that you'll want when you decide to install MorphOS or other OSs.  They're in PDF format.

http://thepegasosbook.wikipeg.org/

The instructions to boot from CD-ROM were are bit different than described in the manuals but I think it was because my PegII had the latest revision of OpenFirmware.  I had to use the following command line to boot from CD:

boot cd1:boot.img

The instructions are probably just fine for earlier Pegs.

Version 1.4.5 is the latest version of MOS for consumption.  Version 1.5 is in the works and will add a a native TCP/IP stack and other improvements as well as support for the EFIKA.
