Boot to Fienix Installer for CFE and U-Boot
IMPORTANT:  CFE firmware does not recognize USB devices on power-up unless they are connected to the first USB port, which is normally reserved for the keyboard. You will need to insert the USB disk AFTER you have entered CFE. Alternatively, you may use a USB hub to connect both the keyboard and the USB disk to the first USB port. These instructions will assume that when using a USB stick you will insert it in the top left USB port on the front of the AmigaOne X1000 case AFTER you have entered CFE. It is not possible to boot Fienix off an Amiga FFS partition.

  1. Begin with your A-EON X1000 system powered off, power it on and press F to enter CFE command line
  2. Enter the following commands exactly as they appear below (ENTER after each line):
setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=FI rootdelay=5"
ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:initrd.img
boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z usbdisk0:zImage-6.1

 

Installing Fienix
Fienix Installer for CFE and U-Boot can install Fienix to a hard drive/SSD or to another USB disk (aka thumb-drive). To install Fienix onto another USB disk, insert it after the installer boots up.
