Diskless booting of Amiga

[Dr.Bongo]

Guess I'm missing something? but why would you want to?

[Dr.Bongo]

There are many reasons. It is often done to install operating systems on computers that don't have optical drives, especially laptops.

I wished I could do this when I upgraded my A1200's HDD to a SSD, I had to make a boot floppy with a minimal AmiTCP/FTP on, which was a nightmare since my floppy drive was playing up.

Fair point, I've never had to install os3.9 without an optical drive so the thought never crossed my mind. I feel that I've learnt something.
