Please test if you are able to boot:
Directly to BASIC (press 3 while booting)
In MSX-DOS 1 command prompt (copy MSXDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM to the device, then press 1 while booting)
Currently I am running lots of iterations of IDE testing tool with Nextor Beta1 to see if there are any write/read errors.
Can you please try this? Get a regular MSXDOS2.SYS file, rename it to NEXTOR.SYS and try to boot with it. This way I'll know if the problem is in the kernel or in NEXTOR.SYS.
Renamed MSXDOS2 into NEXTOR.SYS - same issue. If another disk drive is present, system boots, otherwise just hangs. The problem seems to be in kernel.
Just tried Nextor Beta1 on my Carnivore2 cartridge. Flashed the "Nextor-2.1.0-beta1.SunriseIDE.ROM" file into the cartridge as BIDECMFC.BIN, copied the "Nextor.sys" and the tools into the root folder of the CF card and rebooted.
As a result the cartridge is no longer able to boot to MSX-DOS2. The system just hangs after Nextor's copyright message is shown. Sometimes the background color becomes the same as the border color on my MSX2+ before the system hangs.
The test was done on diskless Yamaha YIS503III upgraded to MSX2+.
