if you intend to install OS3.5 then you realy need to fit 3.1roms. a set of 3.1 sys discs will cost you £11.75  from amigakit, and the roms are £17.99 + p&p
1st install wb 3.1
connect scsi cd & switch on
2nd install scsi software disc (1)
see that CD0 is in dev/driver`s
in tooltypes edit DEVICE=Squirelscsi.device
                  UNIT=3
rename CD0 to CD3, double click to mount it then reboot.
you should now see your cd disc when you insert it.

install OS3.5 is in 2 steps pre-installation and main installation.

you might find that after the pre-install your CD3 icon has disapeared from dev/drivers ? it happens .
just do the same as above again.
then do the main install of OS3.5
dont forget to fixfonts.

this will get you up and running.

you cannot install OS3.5 on a clean hd.
you must have a wb sys installed first,albiet wb3.0 or 3.1.

as wb3.0 has been freely available on amiga format cd`s since approx 1998.
i dont see any problem in sending you a copy of the install disc.

OS3.5 does have wb3.1 on it.
if you do install OS3.5,from wb3.0 then 3.1, you WILL find your CD3 icon missing.
been there :-) its a real pain to install from wb3.0.
thats why i recommend for you to get a set of wb3.1 disc`s in the first place.

by the way i hope you have at least a 8mb mem card installed? an 030 accelerator would be better.
