I went back to 0.219 and sbrain always shows like your sbrain.png snap. 0.218 is: Error: unknown option: boot |

The breakage happened some time after 0.254, so you need to look between 0.255 and 0.280 . |

uh, I'm saying 0.219 looks exactly like your snapshot after 0.254 for me (so no insert disk) |

The problem is that now there's just a block cursor at start, and nothing further happens. It used to boot a disk, now it doesn't. That is the reason for this report. |

For sbrain: I should clarify that the first screenshot appears if you start the system without a disk. Once it shows, use the File Manager to load the disk. But, in the current state of the driver, that message never shows, it just hangs with a block cursor. |
