PPC Blizzard boot modes???
« on: January 24, 2004, 04:30:19 PM »
Can anyone help me with the different keys you can hold down for different boot options? My machine won't boot after I changed some scsi device numbers and need to shut off some things.

I get something like "Failed to find blizzard.device blah blah" and the whole thing pukes.

I know you can do several option like:

turn off PPC
turn off SCSI
turn off video card

I can't remember and can't access the info. I do know about the ESC key, but want to know the others.

Thanks a bunch

i guess the thread should be named PPC!

anyway , "2" is the key to press to disable the whole card, i dont recall the buttons for "memory" and "ppc" ..

sadly i dont have the manual anymore but i am pretty sure that "f" is MEMORY and i belive "s" was something also but hell if i wanna try it ;)

i am having to much pain atm with broken cia's so i am just glad my damn machine works at all.

cheers
Whats up with all the hate!

Holding down 2 disables any Blizzard...

The scsi device of the BlizzPPC is blizzppc.device
S disables scsi

bloodline:yes i know , why i said ppc is because of the thread name and he asked for PPC specific keys.

as in, you cant disable scsi from a normal blizzard 68k card AFAIK!

you cant disable FASTRAM from a normal Blizzard 68k card AFAIK!

You dont have a early boot menu in the 68k blizzard cards (110% sure of that :))

etc..
