Kickstart switch for A3000?

[magnetic]

A pretty simple Kickstart detection in S:startup-sequence can be used to branch to the appropriate Workbench installation so you get the same behavior (and more) as with the 1.4 ROMs.

And how do you do this in detail please?


Guys I have an a3000D i'm restoring and it has the 1.4 kickstart roms. The HD died so can someone please please give me a guide on how to get 3.1 installed on the machine softkicked? (I have the 2.04 install and kickstart disks that came with the machine. ) I'm confused how to make the magick happen

Thanks man. The 3.1 kickstart image is on the 3.1 disks? Im lucky i have the original a3000 2.04 superkicstart disk. And do have a scsi drive. The name  WB_2.x is that the volume name or the disk name? tia

No they're not. I got mine on a disk that came with my A3000, named "Kickstart 40.70 A3000" which also included maprom and maprom.doc. As I understand it though the most stable version is the 40.68 where the only change to 40.70 is the scsi.device (v40.12 to v40.20). I wanted the 40.68 so I grabbed it from Amiga Forever with Amiga Explorer and cut and pasted the extra "bonus-code" that A3000 needs into a new 40.68 kickstart-file.
I bought and installed 3.1 (40.68) hardware kickstart now from Vesalia, which did have badly slapped on labels. I miss though to have the option to boot directly into 1.3 like I do with my A500 and a kickstartswitch.

Hi I have Amiga forever latest version and i have the physical 3.1 amiga os disks. So what do I need to do to get this kickstart file? How do i make it or where is it located? Thanks a lot.  What is the "bonus-code" btw?
