Inspired by Shot's exploration of of multiple Kickstart software solutions on his 500, I had a thought last night.
I flipped over to KS 2.0 ROM on the Phoenix and mashed my mouse buttons.
For the first time (since using a 1200 running 3.1) I was confronted with a boot screen! It gives you the option to boot from a different partition!
But my boot screen is oddly incomplete. This is what it looked like at first blush:
It only shows my floppy drive, and the DH0: drive. But I have 2 more partitions. Where are those? I clicked on the Advanced button. I saw this:
Note how the machine doesn't "see" the boot priorities for the two new partitions. I think that may be exactly why they don't show up on the default boot-selection screen.
And I also think - this is my new theory - that this may be why the EXECUTE command is failing. It doesn't see DH1 and DH2 properly at an early stage in the SS, even though they exist. It seems this should be a fixable problem if I can assign new boot priorities to the other partitions. Really, I only need to assign DH2:, because that's where I installed WB 2.04.
What do you guys think? Can each partition be given their own boot priority? Or are DH1/DH2 "N/A" because they all live on the same drive?
