I have the replacement buddha board working. Previously, I was able to get an ide hard drive formatted before killing the buddha board. :roll: Now, I when I plug everything in, it refuses to boot from the gvp scsi drives containing the OS and (I think) tries to boot the ide drive which contains no OS. I get the 1> prompt with nothing working.
Also, it seems to take a loooooong time to boot.
I think I remember someone saying there's a key you can hold down at boot time to select boot drives on the buddha board. Does anyone know anything about this? Or is there some way to get the buddha to let the scsi drive boot?

If you hold down both mousebuttons at boot time, you get the Amiga boot menu. If you press boot options in the boot menu, you can select the drive to boot from.
When you partition a harddisk with hdtoolbox you can select if it has to be bootable and you can set the boot priority. Maybe it's better to change these values.
I believe you can set these options afterwards, without wiping the drive.

Thanks, that's what I was remembering. I decided just to boot from the ide drive instead. I copied the OS over there and it's working fine now.
I may install another OS version on the other drive (or ide partition) so I can play with it though.
