English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Boot different AmigaOS by kickstart version?

hyperlogos · 05 September 2017, 00:08

I am about to have an accelerator with 1MB maprom support and I would like to be able to boot different versions of the OS (from different partitions, probably) based on the kickstart version; OS3.1 if I boot with the stock ROM, or OS3.9 if I boot with a 3.9 1MB ROM. This seems like it should be pretty easy, just jumping out of the startup-sequence to one on another disk based on the output of the version command, but I am a novice with the Amiga shell. Can anyone out there help me out, please?

version reports "Kickstart 45.57, Workbench 45.3" when booted to the custom ROM.
