I'm having a different problem installing, writing "boot scsi 0 morpos-2.1-efikainstall.img" gives:

error: error while trying to load or boot.

Any ideas what I should try?

trying with a different disk (a WD USB disk which is not a memory stick) I get:

list-files hd0
DOS partition 0: fat21/lba (0xC)
error: no filesystem recognized

boot hd0 morphos-2.1-efikainstall.img
error: no filesystem recognized

boot scsi 0 morphos-2.1-efikainstall.img
error: bootimage format is of an unknown format

So... I'm not sure what's up :)

EDIT:
When using "show-scsi" when trying to use the memstick. It says:
USB Storage:
Disk | Kingston | DataTraveler 2.0 | PMAP | SCSI-0 removable

And when trying to list the files:
error: unexpected NULL (pointer to) instance

What should I try now?

Thanks, I just found that googling. But now I get a new error:

When I set up the 60GB HD it doesn't manage to save a RDB table to it it says. And if I try to save a MBR it just freezes.

Also, I only seem able to boot the install image from my Western Digital passport(320GB), and not from any of my usb memsticks.

EDIT: The message I get is: "RDB Partition Table creation failed for unit 0"

EDIT 2: Actually, if I go in and out of HDConfig after this "TOSHIBA MK6025GA" "no medium inserted"

EDIT 3: Now I'm past that. Following an advice fond at powerdeveloper via google, I put the disk in a laptop, fired up an ubuntu live distro and wrote "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1", thus overwriting the MBR on the disk.

This way, MOS was able to write an MBR or RDB on it with no problems.

Wierd :)

I could not use 3D and ramdebut. It made the efika bog-slow and made the mouse fall out. PS, I use a 128MB Radeon9200 with my efika
