I've been installing the OS3.9 updates that are on the Amikit site and I have most of them done. I am having trouble with the Console.device patch. If somebody has done this one could they give me a quick how to. I'm not really sure where it is at to spatch the update. The included docs are confusing me. In Scout I see it is in the system but I can't find it on my system partition. I think there is something going on that I don't understand. I have all of the updates done except for this one, the shell one (I haven't gotten to it yet), and the Ram-Handler one (I am using Amber Ram so I don't need it). Help Please!!! Thanks, Dan :-?

First, you have to extract the console.device from the "AmigaOS ROM Update" file (installed by BoingBag2):
ExtractModule FROM "DEVS:AmigaOS ROM Update" Module 18 TO SYS:Devs/console.device.bak
Then use the following command to patch it:
spatch -oSYS:Devs/console.device -pRAM:patch/console.pch SYS:Devs/console.device.bak
(ExtractModule is part of LoadModule (http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/LoadModule) proggie)
Then use the following command in your startup-sequence:
C:LoadModule DEVS:console.device NOREBOOT
and don't forget to tell SetPatch to skip loading the module from "AmigaOS ROM Update" because the LoadModule already did it:
SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES console.device QUIET
You can use more modules with LoadModule, this is what I have in my startup-sequence:
C:LoadModule L:Ram-Handler L:Shell-Seg LIBS:icon.library LIBS:workbench.library LIBS:mathieeesingbas.library DEVS:console.device REVERSE NOREBOOT
SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES ram-handler,shell,console.device,scsi.device QUIET
