Questions about Boot Priority
« on: August 05, 2009, 01:08:09 PM »
Hey everyone,
I need some info about boot priority for disks on Amigas. Specifically, what is the minimum and maximum values, what are 'normal' values for floppies/hard drives, etc.

And, the $64,000 question: What happens if there are 2 bootable drives with the same priority??

OK, I have a bootable 'emergency' Zip disk with 3.9 on it.... I noticed that this disk and my HD boot partition both have a priority of 0. I'm guessing that my HD should have a slightly higher priority of 1, but  if I change this in HDToolbox, will I lose data on the drive? I'm guessing not, but would like to find out first :)

Specs: A1200 PowerTower, P5 '060/50MhZ, 12xx SCSI, 256MB Ram, OS 3.9 W/BB1+2, 8.5GB IDE HDD, 100MB SCSI Zip

Thanks much!
