How to boot '020 A2000 into PAL / '000 mode?

[blakespot]

I recently added an A2060 (68020) to my A2000.  I am in the states and this is a NTSC A2000.

I am trying to find a way to boot floppies into PAL mode under the 68000 (68020 disabled).  I can't seem to get it working with the right click for CPU menu and double click for boot menu, or adding Degrader into the mix.

Can this be done?  God, I hope so.  

HELP!

How's that?  I have Kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 on a ROM switcher, btw.

Selecting PAL in the boot menu seems not to set me to PAL.  Degrader does, but then I'm not in 000 mode.  Hmm.

Does Degrader cause a softboot? If so, have you tried holding down the mouse button to disable the 020 during that boot?

Also, in the early startup menu, are you just hitting spacebar to switch to PAL or actually going into the display menu to pick PAL?  Hitting the spacebar only puts the early startup menu in PAL mode, upon booting past it it switches to whatever mode is selected in the display settings menu, which by default is of course NTSC.

Doing a right-click to go 000 after the Degrader soft-boot seems to kill the degrader boot -- the screen of consecutive, full colors (with orange at the end, in PAL) do not happen - it just boots up NTSC as if Degrader was not involved. :-(

So did A2500 owners of NTSC machines not watch demos, generally?  Trying the boot block method -- but it seems insane there's no way to boot with 1) 68000 and 2) PAL combined.

I assume I need 68000 as many demos that DID run before I installed the A2620 (68020 accel) are not running on the current system after the typical Degrader boot (for PAL -- and it is going into PAL, as long as I don't go the the CPU menu after the boot).

Crazy frustrating.

Do I need to rig a PAL switch or something, somehow?  Want to get this sorted.

Thanks.
