set bootdevice ""


Why didn't you comment out the above?
It overwrites your previous line:

Quote
set bootdevice "bootdevice=SDH3"



You could also try to change "module.com1" to "module.com1.idehack".

With my BPPC+, booting from SCSI with the usual "module.com1" had the effect that the boot-up process stopped after the first reboot. I always had to wait some seconds and press "Return", then MOS was loaded.
After changing to "module.com1.idehack", I didn't have this problem anymore and it booted straight into Morphos.

Doh! looks like I was sleeping when I set the bootdevice


No problem, it also took me some time before I finally got my startup working. But the moment when the butterfly-logo finally comes up is priceless.  :lol:

Wish me luck and thanks for the tips, I'll terrorize you guys with more questions if it doesn't work


Sure. Btw, what's the rest of your configuration like? How are you planning to get LAN/Internet-access?

In case you have a Mediator, you might be interested in this thread. Not a single reply yet! :boohoo: (shameless plug)  ;-)

Damn..now I just need a Zorro network card so I can reg MOS PowerUp


Or a Mediator with a RTL8029... See my link above. Btw, the Morphos Powerup registration server is down since a few weeks. So you can't register anyway.  :-(

So the server's down?  hope it's not for good


The registration has been down a few times before, so it's nothing "unusual". I am not sure if the guy in charge (I think it was "bigfoot") is even available at the moment. Maybe it helps if you ask on Morphzone about that.

Even images are shown fast, I use to think images were shown fast with WarpOS picture datatypes


Yep, it's quite a difference, isn't it? Image display is much faster and browsing is much more fun. Unfortunately, AWeb is not the fastest browser, even in the MOS PPC-version.
Luckily, 68k emulation of Morphos with Trance is so fast, that you can use the 68060-version of Ibrowse without any problems. Set image-decoding to "external" and it will be even faster.

But in 4 days we'll hopefully get Sputnik, which will be a whole new experience I guess. The GUI will be very basic in the beginning, but finally we'll be able to browse CSS websites.
