    Hi

    In the install doc's it says that you can install BOOT.IMG to a FFS partition
    and the 2.2MorphOs system to another partion a SfS type

    so to run MorphOs like this i would,

    Boot hd:0(as this is my boot partition) boot.img(will this find the FFS partition)

    or is there something else to the command, as it doesnt seen to boot for me..

    (Efika)

    Using a separate FFS partition for your boot.img is not really necessary unless you're using a Peg1, the OF boot command needs to know where the boot.img is located, so if "ls hd:0" in OF shows your boot.img, that command should work.

    Now I don't know how your hdd is partitioned, so until you give a little more info there's not much else I can tell you.

    For an efika a single SFS (or FFS if you prefer that) partition for boot.img and MorphOS is the prefered setup, also the installer expects that for update installs.

    4. Suse Root
    5. Suse Home

    I DON'T have it booting

    loads to
    Quark/openfirmware

    then hangs

    installed morphos to hd0:1 : using

    boot dh1: boot.img : to run OS ,,,but it just hangs as i said above

    file system FFS,, boot flag 0
