Clean Install of OS3.9

Not sure if it helps, but I made this video a few years ago:

Feel free to laugh at my dumb mistakes.  :lol:

What's your MaxTransfer value?

Try copying a file from CD to RAM:.  Any difference vs. copying it to the HD?

You need to use the device name for the actual controller you have installed.  I.e., if all of your SCSI devices are connected to a GVP SCSI controller, you need to use gvpscsi.device (or omniscsi.device, if you have a Guru-ROM).

@utri007:

Why not!? Is there some issue with it or are you just spreading FUD?

FUD. The changelogs are clear and public. Most of people's problems come when they try to install them on systems that have been otherwise hacked and patched for years and years. If you install them fresh (after a fresh install of the OS), you shouldn't have any problems. YMMV.

Tried to remap bad blocks with FaaastPrep

Don't use FaaastPrep.  For anything.  Just drag it into the trashcan and forget you ever heard its name.  Don't let that software ever darken your Miggy's door, ever again.  

Use HDToolbox or if you're feeling really daring, HDInstTools.

Also, update your GVP to the latest version of the ROM.  You can usually find these on Ebay, or burn yourself with the code from here.
