A2K booting from floppy..?
« on: June 14, 2005, 04:35:17 AM »
Was there a change in the boot process on the A2000 vs. the A500?  My 500 (from memory) would boot floppies when powered up/reset if it was present, and if not it would boot off the SupraDrive..

I've tried various floppies to boot on this A2000 and none of them seem to boot in it, yet they do in the 500.  Only difference is 500 has 2.0ROM whereas 2000 has 1.3ROM.  Thinking there's a configuration option somewhere?  Help?  (workbench 1.3)

If they were FFS floppies, they would still be read normally once booted up, right?  Because that's the case here..

This is what I was hoping for.  A boot priority..  Where/how can this setting be changed?  I don't know for certain what filesystem is on the floppies, but they've ranged in years sine I bought the 500, which was when it came out... Surely some of them must be 1.2/1.3's..  I would think!
