3.1 and 3.9 both can read CD's directly. Any particular reason you need AsimCDFS?

Ah, okay, yes, if you're trying to burn discs, that's another story. Only software I ever used to successfully burn discs on an Amiga was MakeCD. It worked, but had a painful learning curve, as I recall.

Are you trying to do some kind of multi-boot setup? If not, SYS: should always be your boot partition. That partition can be named whatever you want, i.e., "Workbench3.9", but with SYS: logical assign pointed to it, as Thomas said above.

FYI, having a boot partition that large will potentially cause problems with older software, somewhere down the line.

Imho I make my Workbench3.9 partition around 400-500MB. Don't really need it much larger than that and since a lot of programs write to it, I'd rather not risk some old software flaking out because of the size.
One of my favorite directory utilities, DirWork, is one that crashes if you try to write to drives or partitions above the 4GB mark, so in this instance I only use it to move files into my main partitions (within the first 4GB of space).
