[Oberon] Re: New alpha version

[Philipp Kramer]

Maybe you did not update the boot file (something like Partitions.UpdateBootfile ...)?

Best regards, Philipp.

First remark: the file "Aos.Par" which is referenced on the BB site doesn't
contain this Boot2 line, but only:

    Boot2="MM.Open Menu.XML"

I changed the line, but the screen remains empty. My boot config is now:

Partitions.SetConfig Diskette0#00
  BootVol1="AOS AosFS IDE1#03"
  AosFS="AosDiskVolumes.New AosDiskFS.NewFS"
  Boot="AosDisplayLinear"
  Init="bb1741b8024fcd10b8014fb91701cd10268b4d28268b552a"
  DWidth="1024"
  DHeight="768"
  DDepth="16"
  DMem="2048"
  Boot1="AosKeyboard;AosMousePS2;AosUsbUhci.Init;UsbMousePoller.Start"
  Boot2="WindowManager.Install;MM.Open Menu.XML"
  Boot3="Autostart.Run"
  LinkDevice="Unknown"
  CacheSize="1000"
  APM="0"
  Keyboard="KeyFR.Bin"
  ATABM="0"
  MHz="600"

Cheers.
