@All
Find out today strange thing : in CFE i can dir FAT16 partitions on usbstick0, i.e. :
CFE> dir -fatfs usbdisk0:
initrd-5.10.img 10860824
vmlinux-5.10 37756752
.Trash-1000 <DIR>
But when i do the same on ide0.0: all i have is "File system not recognized", while i just simple clone 1:1 by "dd" the usbdisk fat16 partition on hdd, it's the same FAT 16 for sure, see from linux side:
# lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
sda
├─sda1 vfat FAT16 VOID_BOOT EFB0-6464
├─sda2 ext4 1.0 void 93cb7dd2-ce1b-4bf5-ba47-818cf8e8c9f4
└─sda3 swap 1 935ef527-b31e-4a05-9e6a-9cbf5f8dd0b6
sdb
├─sdb1 vfat FAT16 VOID_BOOT EFB0-6464
└─sdb2 ext4 1.0 void 93cb7dd2-ce1b-4bf5-ba47-818cf8e8c9f4 1.2G 77% /
So, exactly the same 1:1 for FAT partitions. The only difference that when iam in CFE i can do dir for usbstick and boot from, but can't do dir/boot from exactly same partition but on ide0.0.
So question is : can we boot from ide0.0 with anything else , but not -amigafs ? ext2fs also fail ?
Then, if that all like it looks like, and CFE buggy in that terms, the only solution to avoid usage of external stuff like usb and Cf, is to create small amigafs partition and put necessary files to boot there ?
What is interesting is that in x1000_firmaware_and_booting_guide.pdf i find this:
CFE> setenv -p MENU_1_COMMAND “boot -fs=ext2 -noints ide1.0:vmlinux”
So either it should work with ext2, or were working and now can't, or wtf ?:)
