@Will-i-am:

The DNES-309170 is a member of the "IBM Ultrastar 18ES" family of SCSI harddrives and you can find info about it here.

To the 2GB issue, what SCSI-controller are you using?

@Will-i-am:

Might your Boing-Bag 2 perhaps be the OS3.5 Boing-Bag 2 as it asks you to install OS3.5 first?

Is it these two Boing-Bag archives the ones you have used?
BoingBag39-1.lha
BB3.9-2.lha

Make sure you extract them using the original BB3.9-2.lha]Lha archiver/unarchiver. This as the OS3.9 Unarc has a bug not corrected until BB2 which results in incorrectly extracted Boing-Bags. If you have extracted your Boing-Bags using Unarc earlier, it might be the reason why the Boing-Bag 1 locks at 40%. In your Boing-Bag 2 case though when it asks you to install OS3.5 I suspect it is actually the OS3.5 Boing-Bag 2 you have and not the OS3.9 Boing-Bag 2.

Btw, when the system locks completely, like it does at 40% for you when installing Boing-Bag 1, try holding down Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga for more than 10 seconds.

I have a CSPPC in my A4000 running OS3.9 working fine. I have archived the 68040 and 68060 libraries from my system to this archive. Just put these libraries from what archive in LIBS: on your CSPPC OS3.9 system and there should atleast not be any 68040/68060 library issues.

@Will-i-am:

On a 68060 CSPPC OS3.9 A4000 system you should not need anything else than to have the the libraries in the 680x0.lha archive present in LIBS: to get the 68060 working properly - alas you dont need the P5 disks.

Also make sure that SetPatch is executed ok in the beginning of your S:Startup-Sequence. Just the regular "C:SetPatch QUIET" somewhere near the beginning should be what you are looking for. You should also verify that it is working ok after your Workbench has loaded by executing SetPatch with no arguments from a shell - it should then tell you that it already has been installed and in the patch-list there should a line saying "68060 Support Code Loaded".

Btw, don't forget to extract the Boing-Bag archives using Lha for them to work without errors.
