I was looking at the kickstart screen one day on my old Ami 1000,
and I thought, hey! I've got 2 floppies and a hard disk.
Now, I almost never use the floppies, because of the hard disk.
I do keep floppies in both to keep them from whining
(feed me, feed me, feed me...) so I thought that it would
be a really good idea to be able to keep the kickstart
disk in my df0: and my system disk in df1:. This way,
I don't have to put in the kickstart to have my
computer reboot.
What do you think. Is this a possibility? I know that
PC-DOS machines can boot off of either a: or b:, so
why not the ami?

I would also be VERY interested in it. If something like this doesn't exist, if someone could point (with a VERY large finger :-) me in the right direction I might be able to hack it out......
