harddrive boot priority via uae-configuration
 

@Toni:

Is it possible to implement changing harddrive boot priority via uae-configuration ?

I know it may be pointless, but so is floppy drive sound emulation :)

It's already possible. Go to hardrives tab, highlight a harddrive entry and click properties.

From there you can change the boot priority.

Don't forget to save the config afterwards.

I know that!

I want it to be changeable via uae-configuration CLI command.

I don't think it works because:

1) every harddrive has same config entry name (There is newer "uaehfX" but it is read-only currently)
2) each time harddrive config entry is read (filesystem2/hardfile2), it will add new entry, it does not replace existing entries.

= 1) needs updates.

Will be implemented in next version :)

<snip>
Added uae-configuration harddrive attribute modification support:
Syntax: uaehfX_Z where X = unit number, Z = attribute name. (for example: "uaehf0_bootpri 10")
Attribute names: devicename, volumename, root, bootpri, read-only, filesys, controller.
Syntax is write-only. Use plain uaehfX to check current values.
Reset required to activate modified settings.

Hi

Sorry, to resurrect this old thread, but for this feature it is stated that it is write-only. Since it was implemented, is there now a read version?

I would like to extract the volumename from the settings - for example, I was expecting to be able to do a "uae-configuration uaehf0_volumename" and it would return just the volume name.

Thank you!
