Question CD32+Sx32 ->How to boot with CD32 mode

Hi
I've just set up my CD32+Sx32+HD with OS 3.9 and it works really great
But i'm not able to boot from CD32 games
I think it's surely because of the ROM Update in the BoingBags i've installed
When i hold the two mouse button to see boot screen, i just see that i'm able to boot from DF0: or DH0:
So if i want to play CD32 games, i have to unplug the SX32.......
Is there some tricks to put in the startup or anything else to be able to play CD games without unplugging the SX32???

Thanks

Ok
After some tests, i've seen that if i disable DH0: & DF0: on the boot screen,
the CD32 is able to boot from CD, but it's not really the easiest way..........
Perhaps modifiyng the startup on DH0: is better.

Inserting these lines in the beginning of the startup do the trick but there is an annoying message when no cd is inserted : "No disc in CD0:"

If CD0:s/startup-sequence EXISTS
Movesys CD0:
Execute CD0:S/startup-sequence
Skip END
...........
LAB END
Endcli >Nil:


Any better suggestions??????

I run 3.1 on my SX32 Pro and I can still boot CD games fine. If it's not the ROM patch - maybe the boot priority of your HD is too high?

I'd be inclined to believe this also.

Besides, even if the HD is higher than the CD drive, the original poster could still just select CD0 as the boot device from the early startup without having to disable everything else.

CD0: is not a boot option on a CD32.

Interesting.

If you boot to WB, does CD0: appear automatically or do you have to mount it separately?

It's there all by itself. If you 'boot with no startup' CD0: is a valid device at the CLI.

CD0: doesnt show up in the early startuo menu. Within workbench there is no need to mount the drive, it's there auto.

Ok.. Sounds like an OS-illegal hack, but hey, it's Commodore..
