    Fourth Failed Attttempt of upgrading a dual boot 2.4 to 3.1.

    No HFS (MAC OS Standard) partition has been found.

    MorphOS requires at least one such partition to store its kernel image(boot.img)

    Please note the existing MAC OS X partition cannot be used for this purpose

    A HFS partition is required because of the open firmware of Macintosh computers

    boot automatically from HFS or HFS+ partitions. :-x

    After updating (before rebooting), run mounter and mount your boot: partition.

    Open the install CD, copy mac_ppc32/boot.img to boot:boot.img.

    All done.

    (I suspect this problem arises when the boot: partititon mount=0 flag is set. If the installation script does not automount such partitions, then it won't be found during the installation as a destination to which boot.img can be copied.)

    ? It refuses to update? The wizard forces me to cancel the upgrade from 2.4 to 3.1

    When iWizard first opens, before going any further check which partitions are showing up in your 'My MorphOS' window. there should be one called 'boot' (since you should have an HFS formatted partition called 'boot' from your 2.4 installation). Is it there?
