ROM update not loading on 3.9 / BB2

I doubt you got OS3.5 installed correctly. There is no reason to install OS3.5 at all, you can just install OS3.9 right away.

The BB2 file in Devs has to be renamed in order for it to load. The BB2 update can be tricky to get loaded, and that's why you are asked if you want to install it or not. If AmigaOS ROM Update is the same filesize as the BB2, the new ROM update is loaded though.

You're quick
I understand the 3.5 installation is unnecessary, I just figured after all those years playing with 3.5 would make the step to 3.9 easier. After installing I figured, hey it just looks like 3.1 and decided to go straight to 3.9

If your OS3.5 installation looks like 3.1, then you haven't installed OS3.5 succesfully. Are you sure you just didn't do the pre installation? OS3.5 needs to be installed in two steps.

Hmmm... it did ask I think and I answered positively. There is not software on the box anyway. What should I rename it to in order for it to load? Can I load it manually from the shell just to test?

It should just be renamed to AmigaOS ROM Update.
