Title: Assigning to XFS volumes
Post by: motorollin on August 27, 2006, 04:13:13 PM
My network backup bootdisk is almost working. It initializes my Mediator and Picasso96, loads AmiTCP, mounts an SMBFS volume to my Mac, then mounts an XFS volume from an HDF on my Mac's hard drive. I have copied the entire contents of my OS3.9 boot partition in to the HDF. I can boot from the floppy and successfully list the contents of the hardfile.

I added the following lines to the end of the floppy disk's startup-sequence:

Assign SYS: FILE0:
Assign C: SYS:C
Assign S: SYS:S
...
Execute S:Startup-Sequence


When it tries to execute the startup-sequence I get errors about things missing from C:. I typed "assign" and it listed all of the assigns correctly pointing at Empty: (the volume name of FILE0:. However, if I type "C:" it goes to the root of Empty:, not Empty:C. It does the same with all of the other assigns.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I should add that the directory I am assigning to definitely exists, and I can make the same assign to a directory on a different volume. Also, I have tried this both when booted from the floppy and also when booted from OS3.9, and both exhibited the same problem.
