Step Booting from Harddisk

1. Take the MorphOS CD out of your CD drive.
2. Reboot your Pegasos with the reset button or by software. (In
MorphOS, move your mouse pointer in the upper left comer of the
screen. Press the right mouse button and select the "Ambient"
category. Choose the menu entry labelled as "Shutdown". Then, click
on the «Reboot» button.)
3. Now, type boot /pcVide/disk@O,O:O boot.img after the
OpenFirmware screen appears again. (Pay attention to the unit number
(see Step 2) and adapt the command according to your setup. The
third zero after the colon refers to the partition number where your
boot image is located.)
4. If all previous steps went okay, your Pegasos will now boot MorphOS.

- Auto-booting
Step
You do not have to type the command line mentioned In Step 5 everytime
you start your computer. After a reboot, type the following lines on the
OpenFirmware prompt:
1. setenv boot-file boot.img ramdebug
2. setenv boot-device /pcVide/disk@O,O:O
3. setenv auto-boot-timeout
4.
setenv auto-boot? true
Note: The "ramdebug" parameter in the first line is MorphOS specific and will
permit to use the serial port when running this operating system.
Disabling Auto-Boot
If you do not want to use the Auto-boot feature at some point, press the
[Esc] key to interrupt the boot timeout. You may then work with the
OpenFirmware.
To deactivate Auto-booting permanently, enter setenv auto-boot? False at
the OpenFirmware prompt.
