Booting Problems

Unread post by jca »

it seems that the boot order is broken: if the floppy is mounted it always boots from the floppy regardless of what it says in the boot order.
I also cannot boot from a bootable CD (checked by booting the iso in a virtual machine).

Make sure you are using the latest release and the latest Main, as the framework got updated recently too.

If you can reproduce the problem submit and issue - https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_MiSTer/issues/new

I try to have my MISTer up to date at all times. I just did it this morning to install yesterday's updates.
I first posted here in case I was doing something stupid as it seems strange that no one experienced this problem. Could anyone check before I report it on github?

It occurred to me that the problem may be more complicated than I thought: the booting process is done by the BIOS and MISTer would have to tell the BIOS about the boot order.
