I did a search on Google trying to find help on Amiga boot sequences and
the first artical I get is on peach written by Calum.

So instead of reading I'll just ask. :-)
I'm trying to get my Amiga2000HD running again. I turned it on for the
first time in like 6 years last night. All it did was boot to a command
prompt. I put in a Workbench disk and booted from that. It booted fine.
Now heres the silly part. The last thing I ever did to this computer
was install a 2091 with a 100MB hard drive. I never turned it on after
that untill now. So I'm not surprised that it doesn't boot from the
hard drives, but after all this time I can't remember anything I might
be able to do to try and fix it.
So here's the configureation of my system. It originaly had a 2090a
with 40MB ST-506 drive. This was my boot drive and I know it worked
before. In addition to this I installed a 2091 with a 100MB SCSI hard
drive. Apparently it has an Amiga partition on it, but I didn't realize
that untill last night.
It looks like the system is trying to boot from the drive on the 2091
and not the 2090a. Does anyone know of a way to change the boot
sequence so it boots off the 2090a first? Or maybe an easy way to just
transfer the contents of the ST-506 drive to the SCSI drive and just
boot off that?
Anyway to make this somewhat lego related, I finish building my Red
Barron last night. Nice set. I'm going to hang it from the ceiling at
work with my Sopwith Camel and have a little dog fight.

| (...) For historical note, the A2090A Tech Notes was actually used as official documentation for Commodore Canada's Amiga support service. When you called up CBM Canada in Markham, and requested support for the A2090A, you'd get a fax of the A2090A (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
