    Hello.

    I finally decided to remove MacOS partition from my MacMini, i know that boot partition must be untouched, i have removed only MacOS partition, but for some reason, i got a grey screen and MorphOS doesn't boot now. I have "blessed" the bootinfo.txt again with HFSSetMacBoot, i have changed the environment variable boot-command to point again to my boot partition. I have formatted and copied boot files from MorphOS CD to boot partition, as described in troubleshooting in MorphOS web, but i can't get it working again. My MorphOS partition isn't corrupted, i can see all the contents after booting my macmini with MorphOS CD. I don't know what to do except install MorphOS from scratch.

    Any suggestion?

    Is the sys: partition set to bootable?

    Just a suggestion from 386 pc's, have you tried to re-create a partition at the same place
    where the Mac partition has been. Just in case the partitions are counted and you trashed
    the queue line. My HFS - partition is marked with Valid(A/UX) Read (A/UX) Allocated(A/UX)
    Mount (A/UX) Write(OSX&A/UX). My SFS Valid (A/UX) Boot (A/UX) Read(A/UX) Allocated(A/UX)
    Mount(A/UX) Write (OSX&A/UX) IN Use (A/UX) Pic Boot (A/UX).In HDConfig.
    Maybe something has changed after you deletet the MAC partition.

    good luck!

    Thanks to all, i get it working finally, my system partition is bootable, but i have revised the old MacOS partition that it is formatted in SFS now, and it was set as bootable partition, it seem that it was trying to boot from the new partition.

    [Edited]

    I see that my new SFS partition appears as nodos in HDConfig, but it is fully usable, i hope that it will not affect to hardisk but it is not very normal.

    If you deleted the partitions macos, you can start with you every file system which recognizes the OF.
    For example, you can use you pendrive/harddisk from FAT or HFS for booting MOS.

    boot usb0/@1:1,\boot.img bd=DH0


    usb0 - pendrive (FAT) plugged in the USB port closer to the monitor connector
    DH0 - MorphOS partition SFS

    Do you remember about the recording files to boot on USB

    Norbi:
    It was a problem with boot flags with the new partition, now it was solved.

    The problem with NODOS message from HDConfig was solved also, i have created again the partition and now it works as expected.

    Thanks to all.
