Am I missing something or does this update NOT use an installer script? With past updates, I would just burn the iso and boot from it. 3.7 boots to a system but then complains that the img is too old and gives me an OK button to reboot.

Manual update of files then?


You are failing to boot it from the CD if it complains about too old boot.img. It's loading old boot.img from the HD in that case.

If you're using a Mac, try booting with alt-key pressed and select the CD from the menu which is shown. Or if you were trying to boot with C key pressed, maybe connect keyboard directly to machine without hub.

Strange that it still attempted to boot from it but then used the 3.6 img.

Yeah, if you don't force the machine itself to boot from the CD drive, normal boot procedure is taken in place. Boot.img is loaded from the HD, but then old MorphOS finds the boot device with the biggest boot priority, and a bootable CD in drive is it. And when it happens to be newer MorphOS installation CD it just doesn't work because it only accepts newer "kernel".
