Title: Instaling OS 3.9 on A1200 help
Post by: rrete on October 07, 2007, 11:07:38 AM

Hi to all!
I've won on Ebay an Apollo Turbo 1230 LC. Now i can install OS 3.9 (I've the roms 3.1 too). The problem comes after the install, when reboot system tries to boot from floppy no from HD even is there is no floppy in the drive. Selecting in early startup menu the HD always try floppy. and no loads 3.9. Booting from Floppy with a disk always work.
What's wrong?

Using HD Installer tool, check if your HDD has been made 'bootable'.

Now I go to look it, but i'm sure this partition is bootable.
Thanks.

Maybe is too long 1,02GB for OS3.9?

Try installing SFS (http://strohmayer.org/sfs/) instead of basic FFS. If that doesn't help, try another HD.

I'll try it. But it's the first time i've this problem. Maybe is the assign of libraries when boot from floppy to install os3.9  think that in the rebooting, system look for it on floppy but those are of wb3.1 and system crash.

Thanks,
