Yay!rubber_jonnie wrote: 04 Feb 2025 12:10 OK, so I think I've fixed the A5000, I'm now able to boot correctly, get my drivers and desktop customisations.
I was looking at the *configure options and one is *configure drive X, with X being the number of the drive to boot from. I changed this value to 4, my first SCSI drive and it is booting!!!
I am going to continue testing, but it's looking positive :)
