[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] setcpu kickrom and kickstart 2.0

rooijen@pttrnl.nl (05/03/91)

Hello World,
 
Is it possible to use setcpu kickrom to load kickstart 2.0 into 32 bits memory. 

My configuration is:
- A2000 rev 4.5
- A2630
- setcpu v1.6
- kickstart file kick.74.20 (I think it is version 35.74)

I use the command "setcpu kickrom df0:kick.74.20". 
All I get is a yellow screen and kickstart 1.3 again. Am I doing something
wrong or isn't it possible at all.

SetCpu requires kickstart files which have been linked to be loaded into
$f00000 memoroy. So you need a kickstart file named "kick.xx.f0". To boot up
with the kickstart file that you have, use ZKick, supplied on the disk you
received from Commodore as a develloper.

But since you're not a develloper, why don't you just enter the command
1> delete df0:kick.74.20.

Proclaiming on the net that you are a pirate is not a very good idea.

Proclaiming someone a pirate when you don't know who or what (s)he is/
represents is not a very good idea.

In theory.  You need a proper KickStart, of course.  Your developer support
contacts should be able to get the correct one.  SetCPU can load "f0" or "f8"
file, but of course not "20" files.

>- kickstart file kick.74.20 (I think it is version 35.74)

Think again.  Old 2.0 was version 36, currently it's version 37.  Again, if
you're a developer, you can get the proper files from the ASDPE network.  If
you're not a developer, you have this stuff illegally, please erase it.

>I use the command "setcpu kickrom df0:kick.74.20". 

SetCPU can't load "20" files, as mentioned.  It'll probably try, but wind up
conflicting with autoconfig memory.
