***WHEN*** I am working on my very limited LINUX project I want to turn off the X1000, remove the removable "backup" PATA drive, put in the LINUX removeable master PATA drive, turn on the X1000, then perform a simple sequence to get to LINUX and start work.
So much for the plan. What is wrong with the plan?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have read most all the posts on this forum and consulted the A-Eon Debian installation PDF.
I'm afraid I read too much into the texts, so I am asking for reassurance about some points.
Broadly, there are 2 steps: 1) Create the Linux setup 2) Use the Linux setup.
I choose to run Debian Wheezy on a separate disk... the 80G PATA.
How to get there? Quoting the X1000 Firmware Guide:
That (seems) to imply the Southbridge PATA port connector shown on TRM-NEMO-1.5 page 26 is useless? That is supported by the fact that the successful recognition of the removable backup master PATA by my AmigaOne is NOT duplicated on the X1000: not in CFE>show devices and not in the "SYSTEM:System/Media Toolbox". Even with the fancy data cable I got for it.Please note, to be recognized by CFE[..], hard drives or optical drives must be installed on the [..]X1000's SATA ports numbered 0 or 2 or on a supported SATA|PATA PCI card. The other port motherboard ports will not be recognized by CFE [..].
