Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This package is intent to produce a boot disk, able to mount and boot
a rescue system.
With these files you can make a bootable disk able to launch several
clean systems depending on the rom version.

Requirement & Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Amiga 680x0, 1MB
- Highway or Subway.
- Workbench 1.3 (because it's the smallest)
- A bootable 1.3 disk
- pfs3 for 1.3 (aminet)
- a usb scsi disk, prepared and partitioned with wanted systems (1.3, 2.04, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, ...)
(note that 1.3 is a kind of 1.2 with autoboot, so 1.2 works too with this disk)

anaiis  freshest updates of ANAIIS
c       original 1.3 c commands (hups, still under copyright...)
devs    freshest updates of ANAIIS too
libs    the anaiisresident.library, usable with usbctrl and loadmodule
l       handlers 1.3 compatible + pfs3 (Thanks Toni Wilen...)
s       the startup sequence


 1) format an OFS disk (488 block size)
 2) install df0: (install 1.3 !! to make it bootable)
 3) launch the script batch Copy_df0

 4) prepare the usb disk (partionning, pfs3 format)
 5) install the systems in separate directories
 6) copy the multiboot file into systems (for boot speedup)

 7) boot with the disk, ignore the requester.
 8) setup the stack, save changes.
 9) plug the usb disk and the disk.

10) boot!

Tips
~~~~
Place the usbrefresh icon in the WBStartup drawer.
When the Workbench is ready, it will load the .usbfd drivers present in the system disk.
Remove unused .usbfd drivers, they take up memory space.

Future
~~~~~~
- Make all this stuff romable...

Known Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~
- not really fast (but better than disks ~25kB/s (up to ~50kB/s)).
- disgraceous colors when booting in 3.1.
  (suppress echo commands in the multiboot script to keep the black screen)
