    I am a new (hoping to be a new) MorphOS user

    I have successfully (finally) installed MorpOS with a Boot partition called "boot".

    I got message "successfully installed" from the live CD.

    But on restart (with CD out of the tray) I only get a solid grey screen, instead of the expected booting.

    it is a MacMini 1.5Ghz

    I tried to attach the image but it wasn't possible. It shows the desktop with icons for HDD with butterfly called "Boot" and then the HDD partition called "MorphOS" and the HDD partition called "OSX" (Currently empty but intended for OSX)

    Seems I had installed MorphOS on the boot drive. (I couldn't partition it less than 895MB for some strange reason)

    I re-installed and used the bigger partition (48GB) for MorphOS. The look was different to the guide in the LIBRARY. But I ticked the "make bootable" on the bigger partition - or else it was non existent to install on this partition.

    Now it works. Booted from HDD first time.
