Pegasos I and MorphOS - n00b info wanted

[McVenco]

Hey all,

I've just bought a Pegasos 1 board (well, not completely, I still have to pay for it, but the deal is made), but I'm completely new to Peg/MOS, so I'm looking for the most basic information possible on how to get this board to life (I still need a case+psu, harddisk etc, but that's minor stuff).

If anyone can point me to a website/manual (there's no info with the board, only a MorphOS CD - don't know which version), I'd be very thankful.

I already registered on Morphzone.org, so I will check the forums there as well.

adTHANKSvance,
Eric

Here are the manuals that you'll want when you decide to install MorphOS or other OSs.  They're in PDF format.

The instructions to boot from CD-ROM were are bit different than described in the manuals but I think it was because my PegII had the latest revision of OpenFirmware.  I had to use the following command line to boot from CD:

boot cd1:boot.img

The instructions are probably just fine for earlier Pegs.

Version 1.4.5 is the latest version of MOS for consumption.  Version 1.5 is in the works and will add a a native TCP/IP stack and other improvements as well as support for the EFIKA.

Thanks! I'll check all this out and I hope I'll get my Peg1 working without much hassle :-D
