AmigaOS4 doesn't use at all the original cybppc.device (on startup only, loading 68K stuff) and quite all the other stuff in the CSPPC Early boot menu

and remember (sigh) that PFS3 is not supported for boot partition and annyway on everythings over 4GB

No I can't seem to get it to go.
It seems very important that harddisk is totally free from strange filesystems.
As soon as there are traces off SFS or PFS uit gives problems it seems.
I degraded my ssytem to ide only so an ide harddisk off 4GB and a ide cdrom.
I booted off the floppy and used mediatoolbox to partition the harddisk.
This with the OS4 template so that should be ok.
After that I formatted the harddisk(quick) and then I installed os4.
If I then try a coldstart it boots up ok till the first erset then it tries to load on stops and gives a very fast red flash on the screen booting stops.
If I boot from the cdrom all is well.
Is the cdrom software also 100 PPC based or is my ppc not too good anymore?
I also cannot get into mediatoolbox again using the scsi.device it freezes on the scan.
It's a 10 GB harddisk on the ide bus which I previously partioned with the same mediatoolbox.

Help!!


i have here AmigaOS4 installed on a SFS partition  (mandatory, PFS3 is not supported as boot partition)

Then i have some other PFS3 partitions BUT all under the 4 GB barrier (AOS4 cybppc.device doesn't supports TD64)

About the scsi.device, the boot partition MUST be under the 4 GB barrier anyway.
