Hi all.

I´ve tried to install the morphos 1.4.5 on my amiga but i don´t no how ...
My hardware is: amiga 1200 ... bvision .. blizzardppc 040/25 ppc200mhz .. hard drive 40gb sfs ... 256mb ram ... i´ve burn the iso in one cd... and copied into my bootable HD1: partition (os3.9 in HD0:)
 and...doesn´t boot ... can someone explain me what to do next?

Best Regards

Futz with the startup-sequence. There's a few things that need changing from the default values; the comments are pretty helpful in setting things correctly.

If you use an Algor or other Flash thingy, disable it.

hi again
The morphos wont boot look at my startup-sequence ...
;
; This is the MorphOS loader startup-sequence. If you set the MorphOS partition as bootable,
; this file would cause MorphOS to get loaded on boot automaticly.
;
; By default MorphOS boots without using the ROM contents of your Amiga. If you wish to
; make it use the kickstart contents (to be able to use trackdisk.device for example)
; please follow those steps:
;
; 1) Check if you have a correct kickstart file:
; The Kickstart version required are:
; Amiga4000/4000T/3000 - 40.68 or 40.70
; Amiga1200 - 40.68
; Is is advised that you use the unpatched ROM files
;
; 2) Move or delete fakerom.elf from boot/extmoudles
;
; 3) Change the kickstart variable, remember to tune the file path

set kickstart "kickstart=Devs:kick40.68"
;set kickstart "nokickstart"

; Bootdevice can be used to specify the MorphOS partition if you have more than one
; bootable partition and the MorphOS one doesn't have the highest boot priority. Remember
; to use partition names, not volume names! This option requires the 'bootdevice' keyword
; like in the example below:
; set bootdevice "bootdevice=DH1"
; Leave the var blank if you want to boot from the default boot partition!

set bootdevice "Morphos"

; The resetlevel and delay variables are there for you to tweak if MorphOS startup doesn't
; reboot the machine properly after loading MorphOS files.
;
; The possible resetlevel values are:
; 0 exec/coldreboot (System Reboot)
; 1 MMU switch off + normal reset in chipram (default)
; 2 MMU switch off + double reset in chipram
; 3 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in chipram
; 4 for (;;..waiting for manual reset by your hands:-)
; 5 MMU switch off + normal reset in fastram
; 6 MMU switch off + double reset in fastram
; 7 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in fastram
;
; NOTE: most common setting for BlizzardPPC is resetlevel 1 and 5 for CyberStormPPC!

set resetlevel 1
set delay 1

; Load the MorphOS loader!

cd sys:boot
startup hal=roms/hal.com1 kernel=roms/kernel.com1 abox=roms/abox2.com1 module=roms/module.com1 resetlevel=$resetlevel ramdebug verbose debug EDebugFlags="NoLogServer NoLogWindow" sumkick disableled delay=$delay extmodules=extmodules/#? $bootdevice $kickstart >NIL:

Thanks

What version of SFS do you have installed? I think some versions are not compatible with MOS.

"set bootdevice "Morphos"" is wrong!

you have to set the DEVICE name (not the volume name)

this is the line you have to correct:

set bootdevice "bootdevice=HD1"


Edit- and if this ISO is the latest available, you have to replace a broken component in:

SYS:Boot/roms/module.com1

Use the "module.com1.idehack" instead (rename it to module.com1)

In addition to what FrAmiga says I would not use the A1200 kickstart. I would leave the fake kickstart inside the directory and move the only two useful A1200 rom modules: paula and trakdisk to extmodules/ ... Skolman put both modules in his webpage for comfortable downloading.

[Virge]

i have renamed module.com1.idehack to module.com1
L:smartfilesystem  version-1.277 [international (FFS)]

on the early startup i put HD1: to boot ...the system boot .. and restart with flash power led and run to amigaos3.9

"L:smartfilesystem version-1.277 [international (FFS)]"

you have not installed SFS correctly. (if that is the line you see in HDToolbox

Reinstal it in the RDB, typing manually the identifier

0x5346300

you should then read

L:SmartFileSystem [Custom File System SFS\00]

reformat is required (you are using FFS now)

btw ... no clue if that latest 1.277 version works with MOS if used on a boot partition (i use it on a couple of not-boot spare partitions)

It does. Or it should. I can't remember if I've booted MOS with 1.277, but I defintely did with 1.276.
