forgot how to enter X1000 boot menu from CFE ?-SOLVED

[328gts]

been well over a decade now that I set up my boot menu on my X1000...time flies when you're having fun eh

so I hit "F" key at boot menu....what do i enter to get to edit my existing boot menu again? I'll figure out the rest once I'm in just need to get in and save and back to menu

SOLUTION:
hit F at startup to enter CFE prompt and type:

"setenv -p STARTUP menu" - no quotes then hit enter..after seeing the command status=0 prompt, power down your X1000 and next boot will get you back into your menu again automatically

If I understand correctly, you need to change bootmenu item. It can be done this way:

Code: Select all

setenv -p MENU_1_LABEL "My new label"
setenv -p MENU_1_COMMAND "boot xyz"

and then type "menu" in CFE to continue boot with new items without hard reset.

And just to supplement that: The menu entry numbers start at zero, so the above commands would set the second one.

Also remember that you can see all your CFE variables from an AmigaOS Shell by entering "nvgetvar". Unfortunately, there's no corresponding nvsetvar command for the X1000 (only for the Sams). But it's still handy to see all the values you have, and (highly recommended!) to save them in a text file e.g. on a USB stick and/or print them, before you start messing with them.

Believe me, I speak from experience here ... :-/

New to x1000 - CFE complains with invalid command menu error. I'm assuming that comes from the "setenv -p STARTUP menu" thing on page 4 of
https://amigaone.files.wordpress.com/20 ... 00_cfe.pdf

Any ideas to fix?

I can type MENU_0_COMMAND on CFE prompt and that will boot, but I can't seem to see a menu in CFE... I assume that the buut menu I see after the MENU_0_COMMAND command, is coming from amigaboot.of or something after CFE, and that isn't from CFE itself... But I don't really know what's going on, and can't find anything about this invalid command error anywhere.

Any chance that somehow this machine needs a CFE firmware update??

sorry been a while since I logged in here and just today thought I'd close this thread with the solution to my issue ...see post 1. Hopefully you got your CFE issue figured out by now but if not try starting a new thread with your specific issue
