It is possible to implement something like Kickstart switch?

Please, it is possible to implement something like Kickstart switch? Now I must turn off amiga, remove SDCARD, edit config.txt, insert SD back, ...

kick1=A1200.rom kick2=DiagRom ...

Unfortunately it is impossible right now. Emu68 does not provide any driver for SD card so it cannot read the config file at all. Emu68 relies on what was provided by RasPi firmware upon boot up, therefore maprom option is behind initramfs.

Hmm, there is now an option of loading more than one initramfs image to the memory, I will check if I can utilise that in any way.

You could mount the FAT32 partition on the amiga and edit the file from there. Did you try that?

Bit of a n00b here. How could one mount the FAT32 partition on the Amiga?

Would'nt it be possible to add a parameter to initramfs to read the actual kickstart-rom instead of a kickstart.rom file? This way any manual rom switcher would do the trick...

I added a button that gnds the gpio27 pin and changed the config.txt:

[gpio27=0] initramfs kick.rom [gpio27=1] initramfs kick2.rom

It works great when I turn it on, but then it's very hard to press it while I reset.

However, they told me that such a thing is possible by intercepting a short or a long reset. I have to try

Great, thank you! If you use a switch instead of a button, a reset should be managable again ;)
