Not sure if it will be helpful to you but I created a two-part video showing the install process for 3.9 on Youtube a few years ago:

See if you can avoid making the mistakes I made.  ;)

Btw you can still buy 3.9 here:

The emergency disk is hardware-dependent. There cannot be one disk which works on all Amiga models and expansions. You have to make your own which works on your hardware.


If you kludge it enough you can make one work.  For example I once got the ERD disk from my A2000 to work for installing 3.9 on my A500 by deleting all the P96 screenmode stuff, but in general, this is correct. :lol:
