With this new version 2.07, you will now have various aesthetic choices with two new switches. Returning to the menu, you will see that your last choice is automatically selected. It’s very simple, press the M key when starting abs. The second is a switch that will allow you to automatically return to the last label you selected.
The first is the ability to navigate the menu with the joystick. Two new and very interesting features have been integrated since version 2.03.
The renaming of labels is now more ergonomic. So we’ll have to edit 03 so that everything goes right :Ĭaution : These commands are indispensable if you do not want to end up with «mixed» systems. We will use the label 3 (s/AmigaBootSelector/03). For this example, we will assume that OS 3.9 is on DH2: (but it can also be a WB 3.1). We will now edit the label as explained above in this doc. To start, you have to look at which partition DHx (DH0 :, DH1:) … is your OS. We assume that it is already installed on one of your partitions. Repeat the operation if necessary with your other startups (third line then space for 03 and so on so).Įxample for amiga OS 3.9 or any other system: When you have returned to Amiga Boot Selector, select the second line and press space to name your next label (you will put the name of your choice). Restart the Workbench to edit the next choices (in the DH0 folder: S/AmigaBootSelector, Edit 02, 03, … as for your 01 if your various Startup-Sequences are already ready or by editing directly 02, 03, …). When your Amiga is restarted, you will arrive in Amiga Boot Selector. Rename the Startup-Sequence.bak file to 01. Make a copy of your Startup-Sequence.bak in Ram Disk: to DH0:s/AmigaBootSelector.ĭelete the initial 01 file in DH0:s/AmigaBootSelector. Reminder: you have a backup of your original Startup-Sequence if needed. When this step is completed, save the file as DH0:s/Startup-Sequence. In the editor, type the following commands : Select in Workbench menu «File/Execute Command…». You can also use a file manager to perform this operation faster.
You will then have a backup copy in case of problems. Copy the renamed file into the DH0: s folder. You will notice various files.įirst, make a copy of the DH0:s/startup-sequence file in the Ram Disk.Ĭlick on the file in the Ram Disk then go to « rename » in the Icons menu and rename it to Startup-Sequence.bak. Make sure that you have selected in the « Window » menu of the Workbench «Show all files». An AmigaBootSelector folder will then be created automatically in DH0:s. Open DH0:c and select abs, wait a few seconds, the program will go back to the workbench.
