Post install

When getting a new CF card with an installed Robotino OS or after writing an OS image to a CF card

• After power on Robotino the first time it might switch off automatically. This is due to a filesystem check. Simply power on again and everything works fine.
• From Robotinos Display select Network->WLan->Search AP. If an Allnet-AP is found (the AP in all newer Robotinos) then /etc/robotino/ALLNET_AP is written and WLan channel and SSID are shown correctly in the startup screen.

Write images to your own CF card

Most consumer CF cards are detected as removable media and not as harddisk, i.e. you can not boot from these cards. For SanDisk cards there is a tool to set the fixed bit on the CF cards so that they are detected as harddisks.

1. Get a USB stick
2. Use UNetbootin to install FreeDOS to the USB stick
3. Download SanDisks ATCFWCHG.com from the internet
4. Copy ATCFWCHG.com to the USB stick
5. Tell Robotinos BIOS to boot from USB stick
6. Execute ATCFWCHG.COM /S /F

There is also a thread in the forum about writing these images to CF cards.
