"I wonder why MorphOS team did not wait until it was ready for Efika"

As an Efika user I'm glad I was treated on equal terms to the Pegasos users. I agree that it was unfinished but I didn't have that many problems with it and it's not like I had to pay for it first.

This is a small community with very few developers who are none the less very productive and it's all too easy to expect too much from them.

thats why i think having amiga developers split between 3 OS's aint a great idea.
but alas, u cant always have what u want...especially with arrogant fools at the helm.

I hate this sh!t keep having issues...now the install (from usb) drops the keyboard/mouse, so i cant select install

Any work around this?Efika:

Download MorphOS-2.1-efikainstall.img and put it in the root directory of a USB mass storage device.
Insert the USB device into a USB port on the Efika.
In order to have access to a mouse and keyboard while you are installing from a USB device, we suggest you use a USB hub to connect these input devices.
Turn on your Efika.
Press escape on the keyboard until you reach the Open Firmware prompt.
At the Open Firmware prompt, type:
> boot scsi:0 MorphOS-2.0-efikainstall.img
MorphOS will now start booting. Please be patient. This may take a short while. Once it is done booting, click on the iWizard icon and start the download of the full MorphOS ISO..
Please note that the default ISO download directory is ram: - however the ISO will not fit there. Therefore, you must manually adjust the download path to match the partition you are installing MorphOS to.

are we to type MorphOS-2.0 or 2.1?
I may have messed up!

if not then how does 2.1 come into play?

@xyphoid

I didn't notice the mismatched install instructions... Try this -

boot scsi:0 morphos-2.1-efikainstall.img

Providing your usb device is recognised by SmartFirmware, that should get the installer started.

If you're having issues with your usb device(s) then try copying the 2.1 .img and .iso files to your Efika hard drive and install from there instead.

for the record though i do like morph wish i had been on board from before.

Man while I truly do feel for your situation - I am really getting tired of seeing your copy and pastes of the same message on multiple threads on multiple sites. :)

Don't take it the wrong way but it is a bit much.

I would just keep at it and I am sure you will get it. I know I had success with my sony usb stick in the top usb port and my KB & mouse in a powered hub. I would also try getting on the #morphos IRC - I am sure some folks on there can give you some ideas.

@xyphoid

This is just me but I'm not a fan of network installs of anything. I downloaded the Efika .img file and the 'Pegasos' .iso This .iso file is what the install wizard seeks via your internet connection *if you let it*.

Instead of letting the install wizard application use it's default source location I entered the local path to the .iso so that it installed from my hard drive.

Good luck & I hope that makes sense.

So, you are saying that MOS2.0 was brought out premature? I can't say because I do not have MOS. I just hope 2.1 fixes up whatever was wrong.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

@Moxee

Yes that was true for Efika.

One of our club members has offered his Efika with MOS2.1 installed to show at AmiWest 2008 next month if anyone of us is going to attend. It appears that he cannot go. I want to attend, but don't think I will be able to. Even so, after I moved across the state last year he is now too far away for me to pick it up.

On Efika the 2.0 release had some issues (on the Peg much less), now with th 2.1 release it seems mostly fine.
Updating was a thing of a few minutes and now everything works and I am typing this comment o my bedroom's Efika.
My Peg will be updated a bit later (system is stable already).

I agree, it is good that MorphOS exists, but I like to note that I am not a poor soul, neither materially nor non-materially.

Come on, be fair, first AmigaOS4 pre-releases were not "bug free" or "state of the art". A good number of updates were also released for OS4.

I think that it's good to have OS updates/fixes each 3 months.

That is good to hear. Looks like I will be adding that to my list of things to get, if and when.
