strange boot problem, setpatch

[orange]

I have a very strange boot problem slightly connected to setpatch. The system: A2000, SCSI HDD 9Gb (sys: 1Gb, work: 8Gb, PFS3ds) on Oktagon (v6.12), Apollo2030 with disabled SCSI, Picasso II. OS3.9, no boing bags.

HDD never starts from early startup menu (with or without startupsequence). Partitions can be seen there, though.

But on cold and warm boot HDD start normally. The problem is that after reboot from setpach command, HDD doesn't start and I need to do a warm reset. its annoying  :-(
If I remove setpatch command from startup, it boots, but thats probably not a good solution.

So, is there a(ny) way to run setpatch without reset?
(manual resets work fine)
Could it be related to ApolloSCSI?


PS. with setpatch, check4gb gives me: * N S
without it it does:  * S
on 7Gb partition

Ok, did what Thomas said.
1) installed BB1,  the same problem
2) SKIPROM...,  the same problem
3) removed "..ROM update" file,  works excellent, boots from power on, doesn't even restart  but something tells me there must be some catch?

you were right about PFS, too.. Just used 'PDS3' in hdinsttools (because hdtoolbox wouldn't find drive) and check4gb said OK.

so, a big thank you Thomas.

just a small offtopic question about PFS, is it better to use the same (directscsi) version on all partitions (even sys:) or to use different versions?
