    Hi,

    as in the bootcreator readme, I have created a Forth script:

    >Bootcreator explict menuscript

    and copied the file menuscript into my FFS boot partition. Then at OF prompt:

    >setenv boot-file menuscript
    boot-file=menuscript


    Everything is OK so far.

    But the OF is just booting into the command prompt. The boot menu is not appearing. Should I do anything else?

    Regards
    Leon

    first make sure you script works:

    enter:

    boot menuscript

    into OF and see if it comes up and works. If not then fix.


    But I think you just forgot to enable auto-boot (again).

    My bootscript works. I tested it via:

    boot /pci/ide/disk@0,0:0 menuscript

    (I don't know why I have to type the full command, some people simply type boot menuscript and it works?)

    And tried to enable auto-boot like this?

    setenv auto-boot? true

    It seemed it works but this time I get strange characters:

    RRRRRR...

    ?
