I have an Expansion Systems X1000 SCSI controller on my A1000 which was sold when 1.3 wasn't around and therefore does not have autoboot. I have written a 1600 byte SCSI driver for it which I have been testing for over a year which I have now embedded into kickstart 1.3 on top of the rarely-used debug() function. For more than 2 years now I have been booting from floppy, and I don't really want to put up with it for much longer. The partition is mounted via mountlist and my hard disk is not prepped. I would be wanting to hard-code the partition description into the driver. Obviously since AmigaDOS 1.3 doesn't have FFS in ROM I would have to boot from a SFS and then transfer over to the FFS one. With AmigaOS 2.0 this will change (hopefully 2.0 will be able to fit in memory from $f00000 -> $f7ffff). Could somebody please send me some sample code or some basic outline of a method by which I can convince the system to boot from my drive. Something to do with setting up a bootnode etc etc. Thanks David Campbell dave@csis.dit.csiro.au
