make sure to cold boot. after the floppy boots alright, and toldyou it has successfulle decompressed aros kick to ram remove floppy from the drive. short dirty yellow screen flash will tel you aros kick is resident. wait now, it boots long. if nothing works try to reboot without startup sequence. in case of further trouble serial debugging might be necessary.


OK, so procedure is...

1.  Cold Boot with Kickstart floppy in drive
2.  wait for it to say successful load into ROM.
3.  Dirty Yellow Screen.
4.  Remove kickstart disk.
5.  Wait a while

?

I've done that, and the HD light stays on for a while, then we just have a blank screen.  I'll give it a try with no startup sequence.

Boot floppy says successful.  I had floppy as pri 5, AROS partition as pri 3 and normal partition as 0.  Floppy says successful boot, screen flashes ochre, I remove disk, then black screen with disk activity, then black screen without disk activity.  BAsic A4000 with full ram.
