    your question


    I have Dreamflash Version 2.8 in my image. I also have nfs server Windows SFU in the pc. Nfs mount OK (from dreambox comm settings) with mount point /hdd. With Function Add Image I have installed an image. With Information I can see the image in the list below Flash Image. With Setup I have installed a skin in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/boot.


    When I reboot, I cannot see any boot menu, the box just boots to the Flash Image. DCC shows mount point /hdd (not mounted). Any advice how I can boot to an installed image ?

    You are of course the Master, but the FAQ for Dreamflash Version 1.4 on the /board.old/ shows NFS can be used. I managed to install an image on the pc, but no boot menu on rebooting. It is confusing ! :confused_face:

    thats true for the newer versions - but older versions of df have had nfs support!


    so you can use df 1.4 or i can only guess flashwizard!

    My main purpose is to put my own image trials on pc multiboot, I don't trust them enough for the flash ! :grinning_squinting_face:


    Flashwizard does not seem to do it with cvs images, and I am not sure if dreamflash 1.04 will accept 1.09 images - I will give it a try.

    FlashWizard works with ANY image in flash.
    The point is different:
    if you want to install a recent image with LZMA compression, then you CAN'T use any official DMM image in flash, because the official images are too old and don't support LZMA

    No bugs to fix, but I saw you applied all my precious advices for your web-interface. :grinning_squinting_face:


    But don't worry, I'm now on 7025 and we'll be far for a long long long while ... until you succeed to code a webif for 7025 :grinning_squinting_face: :grinning_squinting_face:

    I have a new cvs in flash. Then with flashwizard I can install any new image in the pc. The problem is any cvs installed in pc does not boot when selected in boot menu ! Other well known images boot ok with multiboot.


    Probably a bug ?

    So I think FW works well, isn't it? :winking_face:


    Please I must know exactly your flash image and the multiboot image that does not boot.
    I actually have no negative feedback at all from FW users, since FlashWizard 6.3 was released.


    Do you have 7000 or 7020?

    FW generally works very well, it takes me 1 min to install an image in multiboot and 2 seconds to boot that image !


    Sorry, using a DM 5620 - I like struggling ! :grinning_squinting_face:

    May be, but all my images boot OK in flash. Please do not beat musicbob, he is an excellent Professor ! :grinning_squinting_face:

    Sorry m8, I don't have 5620, never tested FW on it.
    I know that many users use FW with 5620, but I cannot help if there are incompatibilities between images... you should ask to users on some forum for 5620 ...
