Configure boot partition!

[Roberto Hofer]

Probably this is a quite simple question, but how do I define boot
partition through Target Designer. Of course I can do this manually
and edit boot.ini, but shouldn´t there be a way (a component) in TD,
which manages this for me? It isn´t that much effort to change the
line into "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)" in boot.ini, because
on our CF XPe is the third partition, but it sucks doing it twenty
times a day. ;-)

Best regards!

Enable Expert mode in Tools Options.

In central panel go to Settings->Target Device Settings->Boot Arc Path

In TD, Click on settings in the Component Browser. Then
click on Target Device Settings.

Roberto,

As you mentioned [partition(3)] I assumed you probably have something like dual boot setup, do you? Or am I wrong?

But if I am right, then why would you need to change the boot.ini "twenty times a day"?
You likely have to manage only boot.ini on the system partition. Meaning you add the additional line once and you are done.

Thanks a lot! I thought it was that easy.

I changed it 20 times a day, because I am still in developing and
create a lot of images a day.

However... thanks again for your answer!

Best regards!
