Hi everyone,
Just checked my inbox and found a message from one of the members of The RetroLayer Team.

AmigaOS4.1 boot process
I was thinking it be nice to write a useful Blog about the boot process of AmigaOS4.1.
Many people have problem understanding the Boot Process, coming from Classic Amiga (500/1200/4000), or if they are used to a PC. That has Windows preinstalled.
AmigaOS4.1 boot from tree different BIOS types / Firmware.
On Pegasus II, there is OpenFirmware.
On AmigaONE-X1000 there is CFE.
On AmigaONE-XE/SE/Mini there is UBOOT.
On Sam440/460 (AmigaONE-500), there is UBOOT.

One of my pet annoyances is a legacy AmigaOS3.x thing that all video files are still expected to be opened by Multiview by default under AmigaOS4.1. Multiview doesn't play most of these types of videos at all, or not well...there is a way to fix it to use MPlayer GUI all the time, and that is what I want to show you how to do!
