For this to work properly, the 1.3 partition must be the primary boot
partition, and the following should run as the startup file after renaming
your old one, as shown in the comments. Also, remember to change the drive
partition names to whatever you are using on your HD.
; Startup sequence for MultiStartII users...checks for KickStart version,
; then transfers control to the appropriate hard disk partition.
; TO USE: Rename your normal "Startup-Sequence" file in the S: directory,
; to "Startup-Sequence_1.3" on your 1.3 hard disk partition only.
; Then name this file as your normal "Startup-Sequence" file for 1.3.
;
Version graphics.library 37
IF WARN
echo "WE ARE IN KICKSTART v1.3"
execute s:Startup-Sequence_1.3
endcli
ELSE
echo "WE ARE IN KICKSTART v2.X"
echo " "
echo "Re-assigning System to 2.X HD partition!"
assign C: System_2.1:C ;Change "System_2.1" to match your 2.0
assign SYS: System_2.1: ;partitions volume name as required.
assign L: SYS:L
assign FONTS: SYS:Fonts
assign S: SYS:S
assign DEVS: SYS:Devs
assign LIBS: SYS:Libs
run >NIL: execute s:Startup-Sequence
endcli
ENDIF
;
;end of MultiStartII "Startup-Sequence"!
;
This should work for you.
