mounting IDE hard drive on A600 using KS1.3&WB 1.3

[lauri.lotvonen]

Tried that "LowCyl = 2" , still got "insufficient free store". And you are right, the value for lowcyl is 2 according to HDtoolbox.

BTW, I tried also with my 200mb Ide-hd (not compact flash), and got the same results.

In the meantime I've written a program which reads the partition table and creates a mount list from it.

I've also added an example boot disk. Note that the boot partition must be named DH0. The disk does not work if the partition has another name.

How does the rdbml program work, it gives me an "reduired argumet missing" when opened trough shell ?

When I boot from the example disk you uploaded, it tries to mount the DH0:, but gives an "unkown command Echo" error.
The hard drive has a freshly installed WB 2.05 in boot partition named "DH0".
And the A600 has a kickstart 1.3 rom installed, of course.

You can get the command line template from every Amiga shell command by entering the command name followed by a question mark.

WB 2.0 does not boot on Kick 1.3. You need to install WB 1.3 to the HDD you want to boot from.

I got the HD working finally!
Thank you Thomas a thousand times for all your time and effort.
It was all down to "Buffers" value, which In my case had to be 30.
The program you wrote solved this, thanks again.

I hope that this thread will help someone with the same problems.
