Thank-you for the Blue! A dual boot with 2.4 and 10.5.8 on the mac side. When on the Mac side (since the initial installation) the opening window opens with a RED stop sign announcing the Disk "Boot" is "un-repairable"? The issue has been there but has been ignored by me. Both OS's have been in use for plus three years. Tried years ago to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.7 but failed. Tried to upgrade from 2.4 to 3.1 last night but failed again.MorphOS 2.4 booting instructions.

"Boot text" from the Mac side
In order to boot MorphOS on a Mac Mini you need to place the boot.img file
on a HFS formatted partition called Boot. Each time the file is updated, it
will have to be blessed with the HFSSetMacBoot command. This tells the
OpenFirmware which file to load when booting.

It is only possible to bless one file per partition. OpenFirmware can only
read HFS or HFS+ formatted partitions of the internal harddrive.

IWizard automatically creates a HFS Boot partition when installing MorphOS
and places the boot.img and a bootinfo.txt boot script file on it. In case
the harddrive is partitioned manually, the installation process will fail
if a Boot HFS partition isn't found. By default MorphOS will boot using the
settings from the bootinfo.txt file.

IMPORTANT:
OpenFirmware may sometimes be unable to read the boot.img if it's the
only file on the partition, therefore it is best not to remove this file.

You have to bless the bootinfo.txt file after editing it to make it
bootable again!

Info is Mac OS Standard

Dimly remembered there was thread on the site about this issue but no resolution
Going on the Morph side to see what the partitions look like

Why would you want to muck around with partitions when you allready have a working 2.x on the HD ??

Just boot the CD and let the installer "update" the 2.x install.
Even if you decide for a "clean install" you should still be able to just skip the partition part of the installer (it will than just delete/format you old sys: partition).

The installer fails to upgrade 2.4 OS .....Says it is not a valid DOS disk ???????
the wIZARD POOFS with a green head..I cancel and another info box appears exclaiming what the wIZARD was looking for and was lacking? will try to UPGRADE A FORTH TIME and transcribe
the wIZARD

This is a loaded gun issue and its pointed at 120GB of data. I have a Lacie firewire that is write protected....how do you get it to write?

Can you borrow the helios C commands and library to 2.4 from 3.1 ?
Want to start the new year off right but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Red stop sign still there...I followed the steps suggested but no change

Osco,

I also get the same error message when (rarely) booting into OSX. Aside from the minor annoyance, it seems to do no harm.

EDIT: @Andreas_Wolf - Just followed your link. Will give that a try...
