MorphOS loads a bit faster, I admit that. But there is the added 5 second countdown delay on the OpenFirmware boot loader for OS 4.1.  Both systems are very comparable in speed, a couple seconds of boot time doesn't really make a difference, at least to me.

It is very easy as long as you have an available partition...the OS 4.1 installer is quite good.

I was already using a boot menu system on the Pegasos 2, so I just had to add one entry, basically.

BTW, the new video is better, so I removed the old one

Sure.  Here we go:

The initial boot menu you see in the video is created with Boot Creator.  You can download it here:

The partitions on my system are:

bi0: Fast File System (DOS\01)

This is where the MorphOS boot image is stored and also the Amiga OS 4.1 open firmware boot loader

DH0: Smart File System (SFS\00)

This is where my MorphOS SYS: partition is.

DH1: Smart File System (SFS\00)

This is where my Amiga OS 4.1 SYS: partition is.

LNX: partition for Linux (LNX\00)
LNX2: partition also for Linux (LNX\00)
MAC: partition for MacOS X (LNX\00)

Basically you start from a normal MorphOS installation, follow the boot creator instructions to create your boot menu, then copy the Amiga OS 4.1 open firmware loader to the boot partition (which has to be Fast File System), and then proceed installing Amiga OS 4 onto an empty partition which is formatted with Smart File System.

Amiga OS 4.1 for Pegasos 2 will come with an installation guide and there is a section on dual booting.
