x1000 CFE small beginners problems

Dear friends, I know you dislike I, but this time DJ Nick has some small troubles

Hi guys,

I have just received x1000 from Vox and we have swapped registered numbers of AmigaOS @ Hyp main website, but I have no posting rights in x1000 section [!?] so I am posting here.

Problem is:

- We have exchanged the hardware DVD inside X1000. It is properly connected. But it seems that CFE has given it different ID [example atapi 0.1].

I would need a little help to read from CFE - what is the new DVD no and to change Menu Options 1: AmigaOS Install CD Boot and 3: Linux Install CDBoot. They return that they can't load IDE 0.0:amigaboot.of (Error: -18) for AmigaOS and Linux CDBoot [command status = -6].

Please help me as soon as possible as I need to reinstall AmigaOS and Linux... I can`t wait to try OS4 and Linux on X1000.

Thank you and all best.

The Default CFE is fixed so that the boot HDD is on the SATA port 1 and the optical drive is port 3; while they may be numbered differently, looking from the top with the front to your left, the 2 ports closest to the rear of the computer are for the primary HDD (closest to the top) and the one just beneath is the optical drive -- mine is a BD for use with Linux. I am away on business without my MB in front of me, but that is the way I recall it.

While you can rewrite the pop-up menu in the CFE for choosing drives from which to boot, I would wait until you have a working install.  Just seems easier that way.

You should have forum access by just registering.

We have read installation manual [X1000 Quickstart guide] and found that HD and CDs needs to be connected to certain places on board! Finally installation of OS4 started and now it is done

Currently it is booting via CF Card, I suppose we will fix CF menu soon. Thank you very much for your help!

Yes, RTFM ... but again, CFE could be less spartan, UBoot is faster and easier to use. However bad bad Steven sais CFE needs no update cause x5000 will use Uboot again.

Only good side of CFE., menus is that you can config 20 Linuxes and few AmigaOSs if you have nuff nerves and HDD space.
