Installing Amiga OS4.1 Classic Final Edition on Amiga Forever

[Dr. Chef]

Hello. I'm having issue trying to get Amiga OS4.1 to install on Amiga Forever. I've followed the instructions on the Amiga Forever website, however, when I finish installing, I eject the CD after reboot, and then I get a message stating I need to put in the CD. I don't want to reinstall the OS, or boot as a live CD. Ejecting the boot floppy gives me an error stating: "Not a DOS disk in device DH0".

Here is a rundown of what I did. I copied the Amiga 4000 PPC desktop from Amiga Forever and renamed it to Amiga OS 4.1. After that, I created a 2GB hard disk file. Then, I added the boot disk and Amiga OS 4.1 install CD ISO. After I saved my work, I ran the desktop and installed the OS. After installing, I rebooted and ejected the CD, but then I'm given a message stating I need to put in the CD, however doing that will boot the cd. Ejecting the boot floppy will give me an error that I mentioned before about not being a DOS disk.

I don't know why its not working, but I would like some help. Thank you.

So what you need to do is:  go to media toolbox .
Select you'r amigaos4 bootpartition and click add, remove or edit filesystems.
Click add and select the filesystem you are using on you'r bootpartition (i hope you are using smartfilesystem?) ? the filesystems are located in L: btw. and the dostype is 53465300.

Save the changes and now you hopefully should be able to boot from you'r os4bootpartition.

I've followed your instructions and got the same issue. I changed the dos type to exactly what you typed, but I can always try a 2nd time.
