uA1, update 4.
Thought I'd try something I'd never tried before, just for the heck of it. I think it was late and I wasn't thinking straight.
Opened up Uboot prefs. Thought I'd try UDMA to see if anything got faster. MPlayer in particular would start to get a bit choppy playing a couple of files. Wondered if UDMA would help any.
So I turned on UDMA2 and saved and rebooted figuring I could just get everything back to normal in UBoot if it failed.
So everything seemed to be going fine but then, instead of seeing my workbench I got a purple kickstart screen with Boing Ball and floppy disk animation. Nice to see that. Never seen it before. Cute.
Powered down, did the 2 mouse button early startup screen (another nice nostalgic moment) and I had no listed drives.
Hmmm. So I'm partly confused. Isn't the kickstart loaded from disk? If I have no drives, how do I have kickstart?
Anyhow, I figured I should just settings back to how they were before and interrupted the startup and had a look at all the options. Couldn't find PIO/UDMA.
No problem. Enter the UBoot shell. Looks pretty blank but typed "help" and whoooooooosh! Lots of helpful stuff scrolls onto the screen and off again. Try listing the environment variables and whooooooooooooooooosh! Lots of name/value pairs scroll onto the screen and off again!
I can find no way to get this stuff to pause between pages.
Anyone have a full listing of UBoot commands and relevant env variables for uA1? Or even, can anyone let me know the magical invocation that needs to be typed to get things back the way they were?
