the yellow screen means it is trying to load the Kickstart off of a special drive partition. 4 comments
@tubetime Is that something special added by the controller interface? Or is the onboard boot room able to look for kickstart other than the floppy disk? @ChartreuseK the onboard (non kickstart) ROM looks at F00000 and finds the controller ROM, which then takes over the boot process. i think this was originally for supporting game cartridges @tubetime Ah okay, didn't know that was a thing it did. Certainly a nice feature to not need the kickstart disk to boot a hard disk |
oh that's not good, it blinks red 8 times. this means the drive failed the SCSI mode sense command for some reason. weird.
