   Re: Why does GS/OS boot hang with RamFAS

   Shift booting displays No Inits/DAs but still nothing happens. I haven’t   
   been able to trigger text mode booting. So something is going awry very   
   early in the sequence.   
      
   I’ve tried another SCSI device and have been able to boot off that so the   
   indication is that the SCSI2SD setup is not working properly.   
      
   I did add a terminator to the end of the chain without seeing any   
   difference in behaviour. I also tried a third RamFAST card which does the   
   same thing so at least the RamFAST cards are working.   
      
   I tried turning off DMA and TWGS options in the RamFAST config and that   
   didn’t help.   
      
   I did try booting system off CFFA3000 and the SCSI2SD partitions mounted on   
   the desktop, so that is promising. Perhaps there is some corruption in the   
   boot files… but I don’t know what could have caused that given I haven’t   
   removed the microSD card since it was last working.   
      
   During attempts I noticed an ‘e’ in the bottom right hand corner of the   
   text screen. What puts that there?
