Just tried to get MOS PowerUp to boot on my A4000 which I just installed a CybervisionPPC card in but I can only hear/see my A4000 reboot once and then after 3-5 secs nothing happens..just a black screen.
I've copied everything from the MOS cd to a partition called SDH3 and set boot priority to -1 since my OS3.9 installation on my SHD0 partition is set to 0
When I boot I go into the early startup menu and disable my OS3.9 partition (SDH0= and choose to boot from SDH3 instead.
I've then tweaked the MOS startup like this:
;
; This is the MorphOS loader startup-sequence. If you set the MorphOS partition as bootable,
; this file would cause MorphOS to get loaded on boot automaticly.
;
; By default MorphOS boots without using the ROM contents of your Amiga. If you wish to
; make it use the kickstart contents (to be able to use trackdisk.device for example)
; please follow those steps:
;
; 1) Check if you have a correct kickstart file:
; The Kickstart version required are:
; Amiga4000/4000T/3000 - 40.68 or 40.70
; Amiga1200 - 40.68
; Is is advised that you use the unpatched ROM files
;
; 2) Move or delete fakerom.elf from boot/extmoudles
;
; 3) Change the kickstart variable, remember to tune the file path
set kickstart "kickstart=Devs:ROM3.1"
;set kickstart "nokickstart"
; Bootdevice can be used to specify the MorphOS partition if you have more than one
; bootable partition and the MorphOS one doesn't have the highest boot priority. Remember
; to use partition names, not volume names! This option requires the 'bootdevice' keyword
; like in the example below:
set bootdevice "bootdevice=SDH3"
; Leave the var blank if you want to boot from the default boot partition!
set bootdevice ""
; The resetlevel and delay variables are there for you to tweak if MorphOS startup doesn't
; reboot the machine properly after loading MorphOS files.
;
; The possible resetlevel values are:
; 0 exec/coldreboot (System Reboot)
; 1 MMU switch off + normal reset in chipram (default)
; 2 MMU switch off + double reset in chipram
; 3 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in chipram
; 4 for (;
;..waiting for manual reset by your hands:-)
; 5 MMU switch off + normal reset in fastram
; 6 MMU switch off + double reset in fastram
; 7 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in fastram
;
; NOTE: most common setting for BlizzardPPC is resetlevel 1 and 5 for CyberStormPPC!
set resetlevel 5
set delay 1
; Load the MorphOS loader!
cd sys:boot
startup hal=roms/hal.com1 kernel=roms/kernel.com1 abox=roms/abox2.com1 module=roms/module.com1 resetlevel=$resetlevel ramdebug verbose debug EDebugFlags="NoLogServer NoLogWindow" sumkick disableled delay=$delay extmodules=extmodules/#? $bootdevice $kickstart >NIL:
I have grabbed my kickrom with saverom from the BlizKick package and put it in DEVS on my MOS partition.
I'm using PFS3 as filesystem
Would be highly grateful for help that can help me get this going so I can stop dreaming of a PPC based OS for my A4000 that might never show up
