I have had another go at creating an SD card using SDCreate. In
SDCreate control panel I chose BeagleBoard for Machine type, supplied
a riscos rom from ROOL, v3.18, chose correct SCSI drive (2, according
to the iconbar names) and supplied my own cmos file that I had written
to using !WriteCMOS previously. "Create image" and "Write image" were
ticked. I am also using SDCReate v1.21. I also got the following:
"Loading CMOS Image
Decompressing blank image .........................................
Copying BOOT/SCR
Copying UENV/TXT
Copying RISCOS
Writing CMOS image
Done"
I think the order of copying was the same as this.
However, when I looked at the card produced, UENV/TXT was not on it;
but the other 3 files were.
On booting my BB (BeagleBoard) with this I get, from Reporter, the
following as the first chunk.
Reporter 2.65b (27 Jan 2011) List Tue 20th Mar 2012

This continues for another 660 lines before getting to:

What can it all mean?
Another thing I have been getting recently on boot up is the line
Repeat: Internal error: abort on data transfer at &FC0207D8
Reporter gives more detail in the following chunk:

The version of !+Resource I have is dated 30 Oct 2011 and the version
of WimpPool is 2.00 dated 26 Nov 2010. These may have come from the
ARMini users site as I updated with an "SP" from there recently.
Oh, another thing, when I click on Filer in the Configuration window,
I get an error from Filer Setup which is described as "Invalid
Component ID (0x3f)". If I click continue, then I get the usual range
of configuration options.
On the plus side, my preferred digital view of the Alarm Clock (not
the default) is now followed after boot up. Other options are being
followed too: Size of RAM disc and "Windows have iconise buttons" in
the Windows configuration. I notice that there is a file called Alarm
in Choices.Boot.PreDesk that I don't remember being there before. This
seems to hold the choice I have made for the Alarm Clock display. Does
that mean that this configuration is no longer held in the cmos file
on the SD card?
Which of the various configuration options are held in the cmos file
on the SD card?
Cheers,
Dave Lane
