- it's been a while but we did have a machine sucessfully running a 2090a
- and a combo (seriesII+030). Trick was to make sure
-
- a) that none of the drive names defined in faastprep conflicted
- with those of the 2090a (i.e. no drives called dh0: , dh1: dh2: etc)
-
- b) make sure the drive ont he GVP you wanted to boot of had a sufficiently
- high boot priority (again, set thru faastprep).
-
- the amiga simply boots off the drive with the highest priority
