Just a note for those who are uncomfortable with the device named
"WB_2.x" (partition were the 2.0 system is installed) on the A3000.
You should not change this name, since the A3000 won't be able to
load the (correct) WB_2.x:devs/kickstart file.
One interesting 'bug': when changing the boot device name, my system
kickstart is magically upgraded to >>v36.16<< without giving the normal grey
screens. Normally, those screens inform you that kickstart (currently v36.141)
is being loaded. Where does the v36.16 kickstart come from?
When booting in (bogus) v36.16 kickstart the system fail to load the
workbench, asking for an icon.library of version >= 36 (the A3000 is shipped
with v.34.2 of icon.library).
A3000 - A logical step, but what a step! Nice work guys!

I believe 36.16 is the version of kickstart that is in the ROMs shipped with the 3000. Before you load kickstart from the hard disk, you're running the one in ROM. > // Daniel Martin Universite de Montreal \\ -Dan -- ___________________________________________________________________________ | _______ |________________________________________| | || |o| Dan Zenchelsky | | | ||____| | | Any sufficiently advanced bug is | | | ___ | dzenc@gnu.ai.mit.edu | indistinguishable from a feature. | | |_|___|_| |______________-- Rich Kulawiec__________| |__________________________________|________________________________________|
