I think that, basically, they patched the Kickstart code to mark the disk as a DOS disk (there's a flag saying "DOS" somewhere on the first track of the disk, isn't there?) once kickstart is loaded. Then, as the disk is further booted as a DOS disk, a program is run from within the Startup-Sequence which changes the disk type back to Kickstart, but in a way which does not prevent you from doing a warm boot from that disk again (i.e. the Amiga somehow still thinks it's a DOS disk on a warm boot, but thinks it's a kickstart on a cold boot). In what way is WShell different from CLI that will cause WShell to choke on the disk, while CLI handles it fine? – Steve –
