- I installed proboot5.1 on a copy of prodos 2.0.1 and it works fine except for
- one problem, when I hit space bar to skip proboot it crashes and gives a
- relocation error.
-
- This is on a 3.25meg rom 1 GS booting a 3.5 in the smart port. I have an 8/16
- ZipGS and assorted printer and sound cards installed.
-
- Also, it recognizes the ram disk as a bootable disk but I can't seem to get
- it to boot.. This also happens when setting the boot slot to Ram Disk in the
- control panel. What files do I need to have on it and what do I need to set
- for it to boot properly?
-
-
- P.S. On a slightly related topic (ramdisks).. I was playing Test Drive 2
- which my friend brought over and getting fed up with the HUGE delays we
- decided to put it on the ram-disk, I made an 800k ram disk and copied it all
- over and renamed the ramdisk and tried quitting to the main executable and
- prodos more than once, both times it got part way into the load and said
- 'memory fragmentation error' and something about being unable to repair it
- and then it would freeze. If I booted with a ram disk active at all (even
- with a different name) I would get the same error, does anyone have any ideas
- why?
-
- (The ram disk was set to 1meg and 800k on the two occasions I tried this so
- there was memory left for TD2.)
