Title: install classic workbench ?
Post by: petercli on June 15, 2014, 07:55:47 PM
I am trying to install Classic WB , following these instructions  :
 http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/instructions.htm
 and these :

 When I start emulation, I get the Classic WB screen  , instead of the AmigaDOS install instructions .
 
 
 I added a hardfile , df0, pointing to \ClassicWB_ADVSP_v28\System.hdf
 
 What am I missing?
 Thanks, Peter

Which of the CWB packages are you planning on using?

In either case this is how I did it, I installed to a real miggy but should be the same.

1> Mount the System.HDF from the Classic WB zip in UAE, using what ever system config (mine was a pimped A600), and start.
2> Provide the workbench disk images needed, I have Amiga Forever so have them all, it will not install without the WB images.
3> Let it do the install and swap disks as needed.
4> Once that is done reset the emulator and make sure it installed correctly.
5> Create a new HDD using the inbuilt UAE tools.
6> Mount both HDD's and reset the emulator holding both mouse buttons down.
7> Select DH0 and let it get to Workbench.
8> Format the new HDD.
9> Reset, doing the hold both mouse buttons and selecting DH0, and then use DOPUS to copy everything from the System.HDF to your freshly formatted HDD.

Sit back and wait :) Once done remove the System.HDF and it should boot from the new HDD image.

Hi ,
I am using Classic WB ADVSP (since I have a aca1232 card).

As soon as I hit 'start' in step 2, it runs classicwb  instead of running the install.

 Also, do I need to attach my 4gb disk ?

 
Thanks, Peter
