Last time I spoke to dary, he was very busy.
So progress is slowed, but he is still working on it.

I have CF card set as:

1GB DH0: System (bootable)
1.5GB DH1: Work
1.5GB DH2: AmigaSYS (bootable)

Does DH2: is not too big for AmigaSYS? I was thinking to shrink it to 1.0GB Also I'm not sure if AmigaSYS can use same software installed in DH1: as ClassicWB from DH0: uses?

Why do you need such a large partition for it (and also for DH0)? It can share the partition DH1 that you can have on screen with any of the bootables. You didn't read my post (in the other thread you opened) at all http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=852084&postcount=13 (Create dual boot (AmigaOS/AmigaSYS) CF card with WinUAE)

If you don't use dismount or any other trick, you will have all the partitions on screen too.

Personally, I would use 500mb for system, then 1.6gb and 1.6gb.
This is on a real Amiga ofcourse.

Under emulation you dont really need to worry about such things.

I saw your post but no clue how should I "eat it". Dual OS CF will be something new for me and I want to try avoiding time waste on unnecessary tests.

Correct - I'm trying to prepare dual OS/boot CF card for real A1200

<= 2GB is fine for a boot partition and should be fine for AmigaSys for both the boot and subsequent partitions.

If you have trouble with it just switch to ClassicWB instead (actually you might want to switch anyway).

To try it you only have to copy dismount to C and:

There's anything easier to try. If you like it, then you add it to the s-s.
