Amiga 2000 install A2088XT and Seagate RLL ST-11 installation, plz help me!

[SACC-guy]

set up the 2000 with 1.3 harddrive first, but.. and because booting from floppy is slow

lots of questions because your description is lacking..

what scsi controller is is your machine, what roms?

kickstart 1.3 will auto mount the hardware
but you will have to setup the hard drive (unless it's all ready setup)
do you have any 2000 docs (books)? they are online!

after the 2000 is booting from the amiga hard drive
it will be a lot easier installing the bridgeboard software

there are lots of steps to follow

good luck

let's talk..

do you have or want a 1.3 rom (it adds hard drive compatible) for the 2000 (better yet 3.1rom)?
the 1.3 enhancer pack came with a how to install and setup book and disk! it's online! google is your amigo!

Do you have or want a bootable scsi or other controller?

BTW, it sounds like the seagate controllor and hard drive are for the bridgeboard (that's for later)

the bridgeboard can be setup on floppy but.. that was twenty years ago

one point three is the lowest!
It has code to see auto booting hard drive

also, you want  to figure out if there's a amiga user group for local help

You will need install 1.3 disk.
It has tools to prep and format the hard drive.

But what you need most are the docs.. which are on line  google for them!!

So much information.
