- Short: Multiple startup-sequence manager
- Author: sebju@club-internet.fr
- Uploader: sebju@club-internet.fr
- Type: util/boot
-
- Requierment :
-
- - An Amiga with an hard drive (this program is not very usefull without an hardrive !)
- - MUI 3.8 is needed for the prefs program (not tested on earlier versions)
- - the main program should work on any version of the Workbench (tested only on 3.x)
-
- Description:
-
- This is a simple program wich allows you to boot from another startup-sequence
- by pressing one of the 10 fkeys or one of the three mouse buttons while booting.
- You can execute 13 differents startup-sequence files, depending on wich button
- you press. If you press the HELP key, your startup-sequence will be executed
- step by step, very usefull to find a problem :)
-
- If no button are pressed, your startup-sequence will be executed normaly so
- your Amiga will boot as usual.
- But if you press a button to wich you've assigned another startup file, this last
- will be executed while the real startup-sequence won't.
-
- So this is the fastest way to have multi-boot without running a menu or something
- else at the boot.
-
- I use it to boot MacOS via Shapeshifter in "quick mode" without loading the WB or booting
- with "no startup sequence". By this way, the MacOS boot like if I had a real Mac :)
- I use it also to boot linux PPC directly without starting the workbench, thus it look like a real
- OS that boot without the help of another OS ! :P
