How to Check the Boot messages after you've booted?
« on: May 02, 2011, 09:11:07 PM »
May seem silly, but it sure beats me hitting Ctrl A A over and over till I have them committed to memory :D

I did a BB1 and BB2 install (os 3.5) and it dorked up some stuff (non-executeable bits and so forth), but with this new CF card and the PFS3 they are like a subliminal message!  Are they hanging about somewhere to be accessed?  Or should I get out a digi cam and snap a quick pick?

You can redirect them to the serial port and watch them, old school with a VT102 like I used to :), or with Term/JRComm/etc on another Amiga, and even capture them to a file.

As a temporary debugging measure, you can comment out the 'EndCLI >NIL:' line at the end of the startup-sequence, and for additional info you could even add 'set echo on' at the beginning.

You mean the initial CLI window opens with some error messages in it, but closes so fast that you cannot read them?

Put this at the end of startup-sequence:

LoadWB
ask Continue ; <== insert this line
EndCLI

Then the window stays open until you press enter and you have enough time to read the messages.

Awesome!  Thanks, Thomas!
