Title: Amiga 4ever boot disk
Post by: Dmaster on April 23, 2018, 03:58:57 PM

Hello all, hoping someone could answer this.  I know it's possible to make a boot cd to boot PC into Amiga OS 3.1. But is it possible to make such a CD to boot into Amiga OS 4.1?

Thanks.

A single floppy will not work, but a floppy + cdrom will. This is because it requires quite a lot more space and resources compared to 3.1.

That's what I mean on a CDROM or even a DVD ROM.  :)  I just have no clue on how to do this.  Thanks.  :)

Alternatively, use the Build Image feature (Tools menu) to create a bootable disc or drive image, based on the KX Light boot environment.

As I understand it, KX Light is a light linux distribution, amiga forever loads winuae on top of KX Light during boot.
