WB3.1 no boot!
Hello!
I got for my A1200 a KS3.1 and a WB3.1. I wanted to install NDSPatch so as to be able to handle disk with size over 4GB. I did a newbie mistake, not to create an image of this disk before applying the patch. Yes I know is a very bad practice! But it is what it is, and I have to keep finding a solution But once installed, during the 1st boot it has stalled on a library and since it froze on a "dark screen of the death" While I have desactivated it from the startup-sequence what I can see is that it starts the boot sequence (activity led on) and few seconds later it keep displaying a dark screen and no more disk activity. I can access the contents of the disk with the "no boot sequence". I would like to know if I can reverse this situation as I was nearly Any tips/help welcome Thanks |

This should not have happened, are you sure you have not modified anything else?
To delete NSDPatch you have to do this: - Delete or deactivate from the Startup-sequence the string C:NSDPatch QUIET - Delete C:NSDPatch DEVS:NSDPatch.cfg |

NSDPatch does not give you access above 4GB if the device does not have this ability already. You can better exploit this ability with a suitable file system. NSDPatch has no advantage at all.
To find out where the boot process stalls you can boot without startup-sequence, then enter set echo on execute s:startup-sequence or add set echo on to the beginning of startup-sequence. |

[SOLVED] WB3.1 no boot!
Ok I finally went thru...
Here is what I have done: i) boot w/o startup-sequence ii) remove any reference to NSDPatch from the script above iii) remove C:NSDPatch & Devs:NSDPatch.cfg iv) lauch the workbench : C:loadWB Then it the black scrren is gone and a window AmigaDos appear and right away a requester window asking to close any drawer left open but as any drawer at this stage is open it stalled forever Then click on CANCEL followed by a ^C and TaDaaa!!! it keeps booting... Nothing has been lost only few prefs needed to be re-adjusted. At the moment I have to keep invistegating why I still got this requester else I can say that it is working again. Thanks for your help |

If anything writes to the initial CLI, you will get the requester from iprefs. Adjust your startup-sequence to add nil: redirections and quiet arguments to suppress any text.
