Hi all.
I´ve tried to install the morphos 1.4.5 on my amiga but i don´t no how ...
My hardware is: amiga 1200 ... bvision .. blizzardppc 040/25 ppc200mhz .. hard drive 40gb sfs ... 256mb ram ... i´ve burn the iso in one cd... and copied into my bootable HD1: partition (os3.9 in HD0:)
and...doesn´t boot ... :( can someone explain me what to do next?
Best Regards
Pedro Henriques
(sorry my bad english

Futz with the startup-sequence. There's a few things that need changing from the default values; the comments are pretty helpful in setting things correctly.
If you use an Algor or other Flash thingy, disable it.

hi again
The morphos wont boot :( look at my startup-sequence ...
;
; This is the MorphOS loader startup-sequence. If you set the MorphOS partition as bootable,
; this file would cause MorphOS to get loaded on boot automaticly.
;
; By default MorphOS boots without using the ROM contents of your Amiga. If you wish to
; make it use the kickstart contents (to be able to use trackdisk.device for example)
; please follow those steps:
;
; 1) Check if you have a correct kickstart file:
; The Kickstart version required are:
; Amiga4000/4000T/3000 - 40.68 or 40.70
; Amiga1200 - 40.68
; Is is advised that you use the unpatched ROM files
;
; 2) Move or delete fakerom.elf from boot/extmoudles
;
; 3) Change the kickstart variable, remember to tune the file path
set kickstart "kickstart=Devs:kick40.68"
;set kickstart "nokickstart"
; Bootdevice can be used to specify the MorphOS partition if you have more than one
; bootable partition and the MorphOS one doesn't have the highest boot priority. Remember
; to use partition names, not volume names! This option requires the 'bootdevice' keyword
; like in the example below:
; set bootdevice "bootdevice=DH1"
; Leave the var blank if you want to boot from the default boot partition!
set bootdevice "Morphos"
; The resetlevel and delay variables are there for you to tweak if MorphOS startup doesn't
; reboot the machine properly after loading MorphOS files.
;
; The possible resetlevel values are:
; 0 exec/coldreboot (System Reboot)
; 1 MMU switch off + normal reset in chipram (default)
; 2 MMU switch off + double reset in chipram
; 3 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in chipram
; 4 for (;;);..waiting for manual reset by your hands:-)
; 5 MMU switch off + normal reset in fastram
; 6 MMU switch off + double reset in fastram
; 7 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in fastram
;
; NOTE: most common setting for BlizzardPPC is resetlevel 1 and 5 for CyberStormPPC!
set resetlevel 1
set delay 1
; Load the MorphOS loader!
cd sys:boot
startup hal=roms/hal.com1 kernel=roms/kernel.com1 abox=roms/abox2.com1 module=roms/module.com1 resetlevel=$resetlevel ramdebug verbose debug EDebugFlags="NoLogServer NoLogWindow" sumkick disableled delay=$delay extmodules=extmodules/#? $bootdevice $kickstart >NIL:
Thanks

What version of SFS do you have installed? I think some versions are not compatible with MOS.
-
"set bootdevice "Morphos"" is wrong!
you have to set the DEVICE name (not the volume name)
this is the line you have to correct:
set bootdevice "bootdevice=HD1"
Edit- and if this ISO is the latest available, you have to replace a broken component in:
SYS:Boot/roms/module.com1
Use the "module.com1.idehack" instead (rename it to module.com1)
-
In addition to what FrAmiga says I would not use the A1200 kickstart. I would leave the fake kickstart inside the directory and move the only two useful A1200 rom modules: paula and trakdisk to extmodules/ ... Skolman put both modules in his webpage for comfortable downloading.
-
i have renamed module.com1.idehack to module.com1
L:smartfilesystem version-1.277 [international (FFS)]
on the early startup i put HD1: to boot ...the system boot .. and restart with flash power led and run to amigaos3.9 :(

"L:smartfilesystem version-1.277 [international (FFS)]"
you have not installed SFS correctly. (if that is the line you see in HDToolbox
Reinstal it in the RDB, typing manually the identifier
0x5346300
you should then read
L:SmartFileSystem [Custom File System SFS\00]
reformat is required (you are using FFS now)
btw ... no clue if that latest 1.277 version works with MOS if used on a boot partition (i use it on a couple of not-boot spare partitions)

It does. Or it should. I can't remember if I've booted MOS with 1.277, but I defintely did with 1.276.
