@Blade (where did you leave the "runner" ??)

So thats OS3.9 running in UAE ?

Reminds me of when my Peg1 was new, and I wanted to transfer files from the A4k the fastes possible way (no USB and no Net at that time). Added the A4000's HD to the Peg, switched it on....


... and was creeted by lovley 3.9  :-o  :-o  :-o

The trick must have had something to do with that HD having an extremly high boot-pri  :crazy:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@motorollin

Sure, but ......

The OF will just load boot.img (I think it was MOS1.0 or maybe 1.1) from the normal MOS-HD.

That will get the ABox going, which then searches for bootable FFS or SFS formated drives, and boot the one with the highest pri.

In my case that was the DH0: partition on the A4000-HD.

The only think that suprised me that it survided "setpatch", but that did probraly check the version and thought "wtf v50 ?? I'm only v45.xxx .... someone is doing a prank on me !! I'm on strike !!!!"
