    Hardware: MacMini 1.5 GHZ 64MB VRAM

    I am trying to boot straight to MorphOS using a MacMini.

    I have set up openfirmware using the following command:
    setenv boot-command boot hd:2,\\bootinfo.txt

    Although it works, MorphOS only sees 32mb of vram with this method.

    Is there a flag or switch I must set in Open Firmware to ensure MorphOS sees the full 64MB of vram?

    MorphOS sees all 64MB vram when booting using the mac boot selector (hold alt during boot)

    MorphOS 2.4 in Mac Mini has a bug where it only sees 32MB of the 64MB under certain conditions. Next MorphOS release will fix this.

    Thanks for the fast reply.

    Is there a 'known issues' list or web page that I can look at so I don't fill out needless bug reports?

    As far as I know there isn't but you can always use search button in here, because there is a few good threads about bugs in current version of MorphOS.

    Hi Jason!

    If you want OSX aswell, you can try installing OSX
    first, leaving enough space for MOS, then install MOS.
    It works for me. MOS boots as default, and it sees the full 64MB of VRAM.

    Bye -uGod-

    That won't help his problem.
