Message-ID: <3782@utcsri.UUCP> Date: Sat, 13-Dec-86 15:05:08 EST Article-I.D.: utcsri.3782 Posted: Sat Dec 13 15:05:08 1986 Date-Received: Mon, 15-Dec-86 22:36:51 EST Reply-To: flaps@utcsri.UUCP (Alan J Rosenthal) Distribution: world Organization: University of Toronto Lines: 21 I have an external disk drive on my Amiga. Does anyone know how I would patch my Kickstart disk so that it would look for Workbench on the external drive? I would prefer this to the KickBench solution. It is fine if the resulting Kickstart no longer checks the internal drive - preferred, actually - and fine if the resulting Kickstart crashes or whatever if there is no external drive present. I would like to boot my Amiga without switching disks, and I would also prefer to have Workbench in the external drive because I can more easily switch disks in the internal drive because it is closer to where I type etc. I presume that when I pressed Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga it would reboot also from the external drive. A solution for Kickstart 1.2 is preferred but a solution for Kickstart 1.1 would also interest me. Unless the response is really obscure, please mail to me & I will summarize to the net, as usual. Pointers of how to go about finding a solution or to the organization of the Kickstart disk would also be appreciated. ajr
