Requierments :
- 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
