Please insert volume LOCALE in any drive.... startup prob

[RedWarrior]

Hey again.... Once again I call upon the font of amigan wisdom to help me with a bug in my startup-sequence...

I was successful in using WinUAE to salvage the contents of my old SCSI Amiga2000 harddrive, and now have all that data on my a600.

I also just pretty much replaced the startup-sequence (the whole "s" directory) on the 600 with my familiar one from the 2000

Now every time I boot it asks for the LOCALE disk... even before a shell appears.  I've had a look at the startup files and can't work out why it wants the Locale disk.... any suggestions?

Also- what prog do I use to change the boot priority of devices? HDTools doesn't have it...

Thanks!!

amending previous post- hdtoolbox doesn't have the bootpriority settings I was looking for... what's the program I need?>

Somewhere after:

assign ENV: ram:env
assign T: ram:t ;set up T: directory for scripts
assign CLIPS: ram:clipboards

Would be a nice place to add the line:

assign LOCALE: sys:Locale/

:-)

Hope it helps...

-edit-

You need to assign the Locale: to let workbench know wich country you're from, And when you install new apps on it with multiple language support the apps will install the language-files(catalogs) in there, so it all is in one place...

Very cool way to intergrate a locale system on an OS btw ;-)...

If you've just copied all you'r files from your 2000 to your 600... It could very well be that you've mixed two different versions of workbench?

Fantastic!

thanks mate...

... as for changing the boot priority? I have to do it every time I do a cold boot... press both mouse buttons etc and select DH0: ...  What prog do I use to change it to DH0 by default?

Cheers,

Hi!

Use the HDToolBox and change the "BootPri" for dh0: to something higher than 20 (i.e. 30). As 20 is the BootPri of df0: ...

HDToolBox will ask and warn you that probably the HD isn´t useable after saving the changes. But if you only change the BootPri there will be no risk.... ;-)

The BootPri for DF0: should be 5, at least with 3.x OS, so tweak your HDs between 0 and 4!

@ zipper

I go for a harddisk bootpri above 5.
That stops my Miggy from booting floppies accidentally left in the drive.
As you might figure, I don't boot from floppies that much... 8^)
