This is what I did when installing pfs3aio
1. Downloaded pf3aio from aminet (
https://aminet.net/disk/misc/pfs3aio.lha)
2. Extracted the archive to RAM:
3. Copied pfs3aio to L: [note the extract generates two files in ram: pfs3aio and pfs3aio-custom. I used pfs3aio) if you want you can extract direct to L:
4. Opened HDToolBox [you will find it in the Tools drawer]
5. Selected Partition Drive
6. Select Advanced Options [will bring up additional buttons & options]
7. Click Add/Update ...
8. Click Add New File System
9. Navigate to L: and select pfs3aio that was saved in step 3 [alternatively type L:pfs3aio) and then click "OK"
10. Dos Type is: 0x50465303; Version is 19 and Revision is 2. Click OK
11. Select the partition you want to use PFS3AIO; Click "Change"
12. Select PFS\03 in the file System Drop Down
13. Identifier should be the same as step 10
14. MASK = 0x7FFFFFFE (Six Fs)
15. MAX Transfer = 0xFFFFFF (Six Fs)
16. File System Block Size. I've set mine to 512 but you can set different values depending on your set up / drive capacity.
17. Tick Automount this partition (if not already ticked)
18. Click "OK".
19. In the main HDToolBox screen click "bootable" if you want to make it a bootable partition else leave unticked.
20. Set buffers (I have mine set at 300 for my boot partition and 512 for my larger work partitions - note: the larger the buffer the more ram you need. I've got 128MB on my CSMKII)
20. Click "OK"
21. Reboot the Amiga (it may ask you to do this after clicking OK).
Note: when changing values (Mask, Max Transfer etc) always hit "Return". If you don't the values you enter wont be retained.
See screen shots attached.
