When you get the on-screen-interactive POST up and running, you need to
have init.ps in the first box, and the name of your own file in the second
box … and so on.
However, if you just use init.ps there, you can run your own .ps file by
selecting `run file' and selecting the file in the requester.
So, start up with init.ps in the command line, and then add your own
filename manually or RUN it … without init.ps being run first, POST
doesn't know how to find fonts!
When you are in interactive mode, you can get out by pressing CTRL-\
(back-slash) or QUIT t get out of interactive mode … and then menu-select
the QUIT option.
I've now been using POST for a long time, and the one thing I could never
describe it (from my experiences) is `flakey' … I only run it under 1.3,
but I'm told it works just as well under 2.0 … so I can't for the life of
me work out why you're having so many problems. I can only assume that the
difference between my setup (an Amiga A1000/2MegRAM/1.3) and yours has the
clue.
