Booting into Amix from AmigaOS
Hi!
Has anyone been able to get this unix_boot program from aminet to work and actually managed to boot into Amiga Unix from AmigaOS http://aminet.net/package/misc/unix/unix_boot I have a boot menu where I can boot into AmigaOS, Debian, Openbsd etc. and I´m trying to add Amix as one option, but I have not been able to get this to work. I´m running OS 3.1 on a a3000. Amiga Unix runs just fine if I select the boot partition from kickstart bootmenu. I have copied the unix kernel file to AmigaOS partition, but when I run the unix_boot executable (unix_boot unix) it typically just freezes the system. Just once I´ve seen it to enter the Amiga Unix boot, just to see it Kernel Panic. Anyone here tried this one out? |

However, I'm not sure if AMIX kernel is ELF-based. If not, maybe try to convert the file to ELF format (if possible) and try again. |

Maybe try bootctrl?
I've tried it in WinUAE to change Amiga OS versions, but I haven't tried it with Amix. |

Ignore the brief description, I made the same mistake but Kolla’s recommendation made me look closer and it does more than just force VGA mode if you read the guide inside the lha file.
