Hey guys,

I am right now shortage of CDs and I am wondering if there is anyway to install 3.14 on top of my 3.11 through mounting ISO inside MorphOS itself and then running the installer? If so, how do I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance.

It won't work. Installer is protected from running from previous boot.img.

USB Drive with OpenFirmware boot?

Not sure what computer you are running.

- Copy boot.img from morphos-3.14.iso to SYS: as boot_new.img
- Copy morphos-3.14.iso to HD1: (or any place)

- Reboot and go to the smart-firmware prompt
- Type ide:0 /boot_new.img BI="HD1:morphos-3.14.iso"

I followed this guide. It worked flawlessly.

This seems to be specific to Pegasos and Efika and probably won't work with a Mac verbatim.

On my mac I am using this command in OF to boot from iso -> boot hd:2,\\boot.img bi=dh3:morphos.iso . Before that I copy new boot.img from mounted iso to boot partition

Thank you guys!! It works flawlessly. In future all my MorphOS upgrades will follow this system 100%. No longer do I need to waste CDs anymore. Thanks once more.

Guys I have one final question to ask, I was unable to make new post so I decided to put it here since it works here....

Is it possible to use MorphOS as a server network to allow the house to access the printer through network? I want to keep MorphOS on 24/7, hook the laptop via USB to the printer and then configure it as a server that shares the printer via network to the rest of the computer. Is that concept......possible?

How do I do it? Thanks in advance.

I couldn’t get it to install until I went for the burned CD option.

I think you made an error between \ and /. Something I went through myself. Try and try again, that is how I got it work. I want to get a new HDD for my laptop in case it fails....I am using ibook g4 laptop does it sata or IDE HDD?

> I am using ibook g4 laptop does it sata or IDE HDD?

PATA (which is the proper name for 'IDE').

It is 2.5" I assume, right? How do I transfer the data from the old HDD to the new HDD? What advice do you have? I simply want to just make a "ghost" copy of the entire system to the new HDD and access the extra space of course. I am going to buy a new refurbished HDD as I doubt this HDD in my old mac will last for too long and while it is still alive I want to do the transfer.


Is this good? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/320GB-2-5-PATA-IDE-HDD-Laptop-Hard-Disk-Drive-For-Ibm-Acer-Dell-Hp-asus/141862430453?hash=item2107a8e6f5:g:MWwAAOSwu-BWP2xF
