OS 3.9 Emergency boot disk
« on: May 21, 2003, 07:37:29 AM »
Hi can some one please let me know where I can get instructions on installing a OS 3.9 on winuae,  I have made a rom image of my 4000, made a emergency boot disk, have OS 3.9 cdrom, though its a copy (my original cracked when my son jumped on it, the couch was a bad place to put it).  

I have followed the instructions on this page http://home.t-online.de/home/thomas-rapp/os39uae.html but it tries to make me boot from the cd rom with no emergency boot disk image, I just get to a cli prompt, no commands work because none are installed, so I try to boot off of my EMERGENCY BOOT IMAGE and I get a cache cdfs error, can not open "asim_atapi.device" unit 1, and then another requester asking me to insert AmigaOS3.9 in any drive.

can some one please help. thanks
There was a time I can remember computers were fun...I miss my A1200.

ok, I deleted the .txt fron the startup-sequence file, then created a emergency boot disk, the exited winuae and deleted the cdrom directory then added the emergency disk on floppy page to df0: then I click ok, the winuae starts to load the disk and then I get alot of AMIGAOS3.9 has read errors, then the desktop appears with no icons and no menu, just a backround, I cant even get into a shell

I clicked ok add pc drives at startup but does that mean that I should not delete the cdrom  drive from the directory?
