OS3.9 on A4000T - Help!
« on: November 28, 2009, 11:27:30 AM »
I have two partitions on my A4000T's HDD. One partition contains WB3.1 and the other one was empty. I booted from WB3.1 and from CDROM I installed OS3.9 to the other partition. Then I removed 'bootable' from WB3.1 partition properties, and made the OS3.9 partition bootable.

When I now start the Amiga, which obviously should be booting from the OS3.9 partition, I only get a shell screen.

Help please :)

UPDATE: I have no startup-sequence file in my S folder in the OS39 partition O_o ....

perhaps it would have been better to have a basic workbench 3.1 installed on the empty partiton before installing 3.9 on it

Ok, OS3.9 installed succesfully.

Next REALLY annoying problem. How am I supposed to secure the CDROM to the tower chassis?!? There are no holes for screws in the tower!

You need drive rails for an Enlight case.

Google "englight drive rails". They're far more common now than they were a few years ago.

I found some cheap plastic ones at the local computer/electronics shop and cut them to size.  The chap who had my first A4000T before me just velcroed it in ;)
