Still not tested this as I've been away for the last 10 days but I will.

You're probably right on this so my ROM  should be upto date.

It certainly won't work for me. On my boot partition I need ElfLoadSeg or
PPCInstall to get the ppc.library loaded and the PPC started

On my AmigaDOS partition I don't have ElfLoadSeg or PPCInstall.  As I said
before, If I remove cgxsytem.library and boot in AGA np PPC prog will run.

Can you tell me if the ppc.library is loaded before bootstrap runs or
does the bootstrap cause it to be loaded ?

OK I believe you !

I'll use PPCInstall instead but I'd like to know why I need it and you
dont.
