Re: X5000 Uboot variable for displaying different boot partitions
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


@LyleHaze

Okay, so this is on X1000. Above we were discussing X5000.

But on my X1000, I have this:

MENU_1_COMMAND=boot -fs=amigafs ide0.0:amigaboot.of

This does show me the selection list of volumes to boot from (created by AmigaBoot).

I don't use the "setenv os4_bootdevice auto" bit on my X1000, because there I have one big Kicklayout file with multiple configs, each corresponding to its own subdir in the Kickstart dir, and with a BootDevice module in each config to tell it from which volume to boot WB.

So essentially I have the same as yours, and it works here.

Best regards,

Niels

This is all right on target for me.
Affected machine is X1000, I could no longer select the boot volume.

And I'm not quite fixed yet.

Here's what I have now:
8.WB:> nvgetvar MENU_3_LABEL
Boot Select Menu
8.WB:> nvgetvar MENU_3_COMMAND
setenv os4_bootdevice auto; boot -fs=amigafs ide0.1:amigaboot.of

This goes off to a boot select screen that never shows a menu, just a short delay before telling me that I get my default boot volume, which is presumably ide0.1

Yes, I'm too clumsy today, I'm not anxious to break my primary machine. So what should my MENU_3_COMMAND look like to get the selection menu?

And yes, I think this was broken by an update, I'm not sure which one.


Many Thanks for a helpful community,
Lyle

Small correction, folks.

You can buy up to 10 ads, not 10 lines.*

At 5 lines per ad, you'll get a total of 50 lines if you buy 10 ads!

The developer has dropped a major bombshell in his latest update report. Despite Neo Geo having been the lead development system since the very beginning, the Steam (PC) version will actually be released a few months earlier than the Neo Geo version! To learn more about the reasons why, click the link below to read that surprising report.

That report also talks about content completion, and gives fantastic news about the development of the Mega Drive / Genesis version.

Please back the campaign if you're interested in the game. 820 backers are on board, and there's less than £700 left to go to meet the final stretch goal that gives us the six mini-bosses. The developer has publicly signaled the upcoming closure of the campaign, so don't be left out in the cold!

Re: tbimages: missing - how to get to them?

@rjd324

It should be there in the default S:User-Startup, just after the MUI section (BTW MUI and AISS have nothing to do with each other).

If it isn't, just load S:User-Startup into NotePad and add the line

assign tbimages: SYS:Prefs/Presets/tbimages

- just after the MUI section.

That path is where the system should have the (fewer) images installed by the standard OS install, and also where the full AISS install should end up, if you install it.

Best regards,

Niels

@johnfante

Not sure what has happened, but maybe you had some vars set which got overwritten by the UBoot update. (Tip: I always try to do an "NVGetVar > dated_file" in a Shell before messing with UBoot. I even print them off from time to time.)

Anyway, I have the following set which may or may not be relevant:

amigaboot_quiet=n
boot_config=(label of the config I want to be booted as default from the AmigaBoot menu)
bootable_only=y
os4_bootdevice=auto (only relevant if you're not using the BootDevice module in your Kicklayout, but doesn't harm, I think )
preboot=amigabootmenu

Plus what walkero said: Make sure the volumes you want to see are set to bootable (and automount, of course) in Media Toolbox.

Best regards,

Niels

After full AOS 4.1 re-installation with Update 3 and RadeonRX drivers ONLY from ES 2.2 I have stable X5000 and A1222. I do not use any other parts from ES 2.2 at all, also installed everything manually and edited Kicklayout file.

Does anyone know what package it is that inserts this assign into the startup script? I didn't install aiss on my X5 and it is assigned with many files, on my X1 the MUI section is there, but different, and does not do the assign. Both were recent fresh installs of AmigaOS4up12hf3. Both have MUI 5. My X1 does have tbimages in prefs, but, as I say, that MUI section is different.

No feedback so far about Version 1.1 (#25)...is there anybody who tested Version 1.1?

14th Feb 26: Found a bug concerning "Steps"... seems like I am the only one testing this...will be fixed in upcoming RC2

However, the Android Version is WIP, took me a few hours to hunt down a bug, which occured on my mobile only. We are getting there:

I replaced default checkmarkbox column with a plain text/Icon column.

@walkero

I have two partitions set as bootable. Primary and test. Normally they show up (defined in kickstart layout file) so I can choose, but after updating Uboot they do not show up anymore. It just boots the primary. My guess is that the variable was changed.

I am not sure if there is a command in uboot. This is picked based on what partitions you have set as bootable in the hard disk setup.

X5000 Uboot variable for displaying different boot partitions
Just popping in
Just popping in


A quick X5000 question:

What is the Uboot variable to control if the different bootable partitions are displayed as options after you in the initial bootmenu choose AmigaOS? DH0, DH1 ... and so on.

Tried the wiki - https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:BIOS - but it seems a bit outdated ....

Thank you!
