Hello, I have a problem with rebooting from RAD:. I have an Amiga 500 with 4 meg of RAM and 1.3 ROMs. I follow the direction of the Amiga DOs 1.3 "enhancer" software manual and set up RAD, using the startup-sequence as indicated in the manual. But when I reboot the computer always requires a Workbench disk instead of directly booting from RAD:. How can I get this to work? Any info is appreciated.

I believe a "Setpatch r" line in your startup sequence before you mount your RAD: device and then rebooting should help. ***Vincent***

Make sure you set the bootpri to high enough. (I think 0 is ok.) (ie. bootpri = 0 ) Anyway, if this is too difficult, email me your mountlist and relevant startup-sequence entries, and I'll have a look. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ | | | | Luke Mewburn (Zak) | This side for lease... | | s902113@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au | (No disclaimer, can't afford it:-) |

Does it autoconfig? Please provide more information, especially your mountlist entry. Do you install 'setpatch r' in your startup-sequence? -- Best regards, Franz-Josef Reichert VOICE: +49 6805 7417 Kuchlingerstrasse 13 UUCP: ...uunet!cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!kbsaar!fjrei D-6601 Kleinblittersdorf GERMANY

I cannot find my Enhancer manual anywhere so I cannot give you specifics but look into the file DEVS:MountList and see what the BootPri for RAD: equals. If this is set to 0 or -128 (I cannot remember which) it will not be bootable. This might be why your RAD: will not re-boot the machine. It is similar to an INSTALL on a floppy disk. You don't INSTALL a disk and it will not autoboot. -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.

Concering boot priority (bootpri in mountlist) .... -127 would be the best priority to boot under. I used to boot from rad:, and thats thevalue I used, and it worked without a hitch. Arc Naperville, IL, US..No fancy signature
