OS 4.x and UBoot updates can be only found on Hyperion's webpage, you'll need to enter your username and password in order to gain access.
To burn the ISO using MakeCD follow the instructions here, post #24:

I have never used Burn it, but if it has the option to burn from ISO files, then there shouldn't be any problem. There's no need to install Debian in order to install OS4/UBoot, but you might consider installing it if you'd want to use your A1 as your main machine.

I figured out last night what the slb was for after I installed 4.0 and it wouldn't boot off the HD.  I selected the slb in the media tool box, saved changed to HD and it booted.  The easiest way I found to update uboot was use Windows rawrite.exe.  I know I did a taboo thing.  There was a free GUI one for XP and it worked great.  I was just so frustrated.  I tried MakeCD but it didn't like my oktagon scsi board and Yamaha 21xx drive.  I looked all over burn-it and didn't find the capability to burn from an iso file.  You can make ISO and create a file or burn to a cdr.

Thanks for your help I am up and running.  I'll update the uboot to the latest tonight.  4.0 is nice and fast.  If you have OS4.0 can you just buy and upgrade or do you have to buy the full 4.1 for $138 US?
Unfortunately you'll have to buy it for the full price, although the price should include any future update for 4.1, as it was for 4.0.

The fact that there is no update from 4.0 to 4.1 just proves how greedy is the amiga market,and how much money hyperion wants to make by "fishing" into an area of 1500-2000 users that may have an amiga one model.It's terrible and not so profesional option.

For the price of OS 4.0 we got 6 free updates during 5 years, I think they deserved at that point some money to further fund their efforts.
