mounting IDE hard drive on A600 using KS1.3&WB 1.3
« on: April 17, 2011, 07:53:46 PM »
I used a program called GetSCSI and got my scsi.device from A600 whilst it had the 2.05 Rom installed, copied the file to a WB1.3 disk (SYS:DEVS).
Installed the 1.3 rom from my A500 to A600, works.

But now I have to write some lines to the MountList, and I dont know where to get the following information about my CF-HD
(this is copied straight from the GetSCSI.guide) :

DH0:
  FileSystem     = l:fastfilesystem
  Device         = scsi.device
  Unit           = 0
  Surfaces       = 4
  BlocksPerTrack = 38
  LowCyl         = 1
  HighCyl        = 822
  GlobVec        = -1
  DosType        = 0x444F5301

So what program can I use to get these infos about the CF hard drive?

Thanks,

Lauri.

HDToolBox should be able to.

HDToolbox

If you want to boot from your A600's HD you'll need a replacement kickstart chip. One with the scsi.device patched and inserted.

I assume you're gonna boot from floppy disk and then use the hard drive?

Runs on 1.3, but needs more than 512 kb RAM. Use "Select RAW device" and "Create mount list" from the menu. The mount list needs to be edited. The function is not meant to be used with whole harddisks.

Yep, Im booting from the WB1.3 disk.
Already tried hdtoolbox (From WB 3.1 install -disk) but I didn't get all the needed lines filled. I read the Eprom thread from EAB earlier, guess I'll try that when I get the chance.

I made the reguired entry to MountList, and wrote "mount DH0:" after that to the Shell.
I think the HD gets mounted, but i cant see it in WB.
Should I do something after the mount command to get the drive to show?

And when I try to open the DH0: drive on shell i get the following error message "unknown command DH0:".

Make sure that FastFileSystem is in the L directory of your boot disk.

Now decided to partition the CF-HD so that there is only one partition, and use fastfilesystem in it.
I got the mounting to the point where i got the "device not a DOS disc" error message so I'll just format the whole drive again and set the new values to the mountlist. lets see what happens =)

I'll make sure there is the fastfilesystem file in the WB 1.3 "l" directory.

When I write the line "Filesystem = l:fastfilesystem" to the mountlist, drive is mounted but is not recognized by the system.

But if I leave the line for filesystem empty the drive gets mounted and when trying to access the drive I get again the device not a DOS disk message.

And I can't get the Surfaces info out of the HDtoolbox program, where else could I find it ?

I'm at a point where I have tried almost every possible value I can come up with, and the results are the same, "Not a DOS disk" and
" insuficcient free store" .
The mountlist contains these lines when the "insuficcient free store" message comes up :

If you made partitions (even one partition), then LowCyl = 0 definitely is not the right value. Check HDToolbox. Or try hit or miss LowCyl = 2; HighCyl = 994.

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.
