xamiga installer?
« on: November 08, 2007, 09:51:21 PM »
I downloaded xamiga and booted off the CD. I get an Amiga-looking screen that says LinuxOS. I saw a nice text-based installed on the xamiga page but this CD does not boot into the installer. Any ideas?

No I cannot even load the installer!
You get booted to a small Linux install that LOOKS like the Amiga CLI :)

I was able to complete the installation but the Grub menu never comes up to boot me into x-amiga. What do you see when you first boot into x-amiga for the first time?

Also, I am prompted to do 3 things after the main install:
1) Copy ROMs
2) Copy an AmigaOS installation
3) Copy ADFs

Regarding #2, am I supposed to have a complete AOS install on an ext3 partition or something? How does this work?

I was able to get xamiga to boot with the grub fix on the FAQ. Now xamiga boots but shuts down immediately. Any ideas?
