My .02 cents, you're making this a lot harder for yourself than it needs to be if you stick with 3.1.

3.9 + the BB updates + PFS3-AIO is the way to go if you want large hard drive support.  :)

If you've never used P96 I've got a bunch of videos on my YouTube channel for stuff like that.  This may help! ;)

3.1 and 3.9 both include device drivers (CD0 and the required file system)  for optical drives! :)

Are you using a 3.9 emergency boot floppy? Just going out on a limb, try deleting the screenmode.prefs file off there. Without that file it should default to a NTSC or PAL high res screenmode.

I have installed OS3.9 in a sub-dir on DH1 but I do not see the Prefs drawer in the main root drive.? I can navigate to the Prefs drawer and set the Prefs to 600x400 but nothing else? I also don't know how to re-config my Picasso Card? Should I just reinstall the Picasso Driver?

Not sure I understand the first part of this question.  If you've installed Workbench 3.9 in a subdirectory, you should be able to locate all of its folders (including Prefs) in that same directory.  It won't overwrite what you have stored on DH0: if you've told it to install on DH1:...

For the 2nd part, I'd just reinstall the latest version of P96.  That's probably the fastest, cleanest way.  Good luck!  :)
