Is there a guide anywhere on how to put the kernel files on the boot SD?
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=3707
It is wisest to use a FAT32 partition for kernel files (instead of the Ext4 suggested in the original 'recipe') as it can be accessed easier when copying files on it (no need to act as 'root'). And of course make a backup of the BootSD on a second SD card before you do anything else.
In this thread there are a few words about suitable Sata3 controllers:

Re: Multi boot compatible SATA cards
Maybe I should buy a new PCIe soundcard and free up a PCI slot for a SATA card?

Re: Multi boot compatible SATA cards
What do you have in the second PCI slot? If it is network adapter, there are available inexpensive PCIe Gigabit ethernet cards which are compatible with all the three OS available for X5000. I have to use such for Linux as the onboard ethernet controller has atill the unsolved 'unplug/replug' problem.khayoz wrote: Thu Apr 21, 2022 7:45 pm Maybe I should buy a new PCIe soundcard and free up a PCI slot for a SATA card?

Catweasel MKIV+ in one PCI slot and that card is staying in that slot.Roland wrote: Thu Apr 21, 2022 9:48 pmWhat do you have in the second PCI slot?

If I could find a Juli@ PCIe soundcard it would solve the other occupied PCI port,
love this soundcard with RCA/Tele switchable outputs, allergic to those other cards with 3,5mm outputs.
