    My goal is to get OS4.1 and MorphOS to boot from the same drive on my X5000 or alternatively to get MorphOS to boot from the same drive I have Linux installed.

    My setup is that I have a DVD and a HD attached to the onboard SATA-ports and another HD attached to a SIL3114 with linux installed. I boot the linux kernel frem an USB and then linux itself from the HD.

    I have uploaded my partition-scheme here: Partitions

    As you can see I prepared for MorphOS support when I partitioned the drive way back :-). DH2 is formated as SFS and the idea was to install the MorphOS system partition there.

    Is that possible or does it need another hidden partition as it does on a Mac. The rest af the data partitions I would install on the first part of the linux drive where I have an old Ubuntu installation that I do not need.

    I have searched in Uboot for the MorphOS boot variables so that I can tell it where to look but did not find any.

    Another course could be to install MorphOS on the first half of my linux drive but I think that boot from SIL3114 is not supported on X5000 or is it?

    I could move the linux HD from the SIL and install MorphOS from USB. I have looked for the recommend partition scheme for X5000 but not found any. Do I need any hidden partitions or? I would like to keep my second fienix-linux installation so I would not like to use my complete drive.

    Thank you in advance! :-)
