Have you installed the Second Level Booter (SLB) to your hard drive with Media Toolbox ?

Yes, i have done that

So you have succesfully installed OS4 to your hard drive. And you have replaced your SiS graphics card with your Radeon card ? Are you still in the same situation that your computer loads Kickstart from hard drive but can't ever reach Workbench ? Are you using ps2 or USB mouse and keyboard ?

Ok, tried it this moring and looking through the help system found that if i type boota i can get os4 up and running, so how do i get this command to run from power on?

Have you selected to boot from your hard drive in UBoot menu ?

I have indeed repalced my sis card for a radion 9250.

I have installed OS4.0 to my Harddrive(love os4 now)

Now i not sure how to get the system to boot straight into os4, when the a1 is switched on it checks the ide ports 0 and 1, then drops to ], i have been looking at the help and found that if i type BOOTA it boots my system nicely, looking on the web i have found that it might be setenv and i might have to

setenv boot_command
setenv menu; run menuboot_cmd
setenv boot_method boota
saveenv

or something simular, is this right or should there be different, sorry but i am a total NOOB to the A1.

I have these in my UBoot settings:
setenv boot_method boota
setenv bootmethod boota
setenv menuboot_cmd boota; boota; boota
saveenv

I don't know if some of those settings are outdated or needed. But I have those.

You should have this also:
boot1=ide (setenv boot1 ide)

I don't have this one.

But it's nice you got your computer working.

Whwn it was borght from eytech we could not get it to work, rang eytech and they sent a new u-boot rom and the my mate and his son(co owners who had teh board building the system) rang them to ask how to change it and were told to use a small flat screwdriver and prise it but they ripped the socked off of the board and eytech did'nt want to know anymore and only this year spoke to the french amigacenter (realy nice chap) and they repaired it for 80euros.
Thats why i an not sure if i will ever find oure reg info again aswell.

Hi @caver99
Thanks much for the info. I recall hearing about this tragedy long ago. Well, I'm glad that was all solved. I hope you're enjoying the A1.
