Argh ... #&%§%$§ !
I forgot to set the "custom boot code/blocks" to "enabled/16" for
root. Well ... ;((
[ BTW ... do you know a good AmigaOS RDB save/load program? ]
The next surprise was that root didn't boot properly
Can't open /dev/rsda1: Device not configured
CANT'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM
Again ... it's an image backup and the restore worked before.
Any ideas regarding this issue ... ?
Many thanks.
