Thanks for the help with u-boot menu
Will test this.
I tested the battery: it has nearly 4 V on my multimeter
I was able to save the settings
Boot2 to USD DVD and reboot
Same as before
Boot1 as USD and reboot
Still the same

Came to doubt if I was using the correct DVD': I was not

Using the AOS FE amiga one, Sam 460 DVD
No success but the DVD drive reacted, this was not the case with the aos
4.1 update 2 CD-ROM I used previously

Before yesterday I never touched the OS multi boot settings and still was able, to boot from this DVD if I remember well, whereas boot2 was the only one to point to USB not to DVD but to HD
Am I dreaming this up?
What happens if all three options are set to,SATA , will th Sam boot from DVD?

Any URL where I could find the complete list?

There is no "SATA" (only) option. It's either "SATA HD" or "SATA DVD".
I wrote an article a long time ago. It was for the AmigaOne XE but you can find more information about Uboot.

You can select "verbose" somewhere in the menu.

You can interrupt the display pressing the CursorUp key (IIRC) so you can see the first lines displayed.

Thanks.

I made some progress.
It seems the Seagate HD is dead (properly): the intermittent beep is due to HD trying to get speed. Other info found on the web: could be insufficient voltage, other info ,put it in the freezer to have a last working session.

Right now the HD is removed and I could boot the DVD
I have a recent backup of system & data partitions on my external HD
How can I make the sys partition boott?

Is the description above for USB sticks also valiid for the external HD?

You are right about the 2 possible cases for the HD. That's why I suggested to use another computer to test it.

I will drop the solution of making my external HD sys partition bootable,
I am not sure about your answer: do you say a USB HD partition can not be made bootable, or the procedure is different from an USB stick?

Right now II moved the Sam440's HD to,the Sam460ex
The HD is recognised,and luckily I have a partition "backup " in which I can install the os4.1FE

Is there some URL showing the install procedure,
I am afraid the procedure would overwrite the Sam440 Sys partition
Should I disable its Automount feature?

the procedure is the same for an USB key or HD.
I never tried on a HD but it should work.

It is explained in the PDF present on the OS4 CD.

You once installed Parthenope on this HD. Just install SLB (with MediaToolbox) and it will work.

Howeverit seems (.warning) thati I will lose the data on my other partitions.
