I am having a bit of and issue setting up an A4000 HD. I have hard drive that I can
format and mount just fine if it is the primary IDE device, but if I switch it to
slave drive HDToolbox and mounter can see it, but refuse to mount it.
I have a full new install of AmigaOS 3.9 updated to Boing bag 3, on a 6 gig Memtech
Wolverine drive, I currently have only about 3 gig of that drive partitioned, and it mounts
and works fine, and my CD ROM drive also mounts and works fine (Memtech Master, CD ROM Slave) with it.
I want to back the drive up to another Memtech 1.5 gig drive, so I can switch it from FFS
to PFS. I Unhooked the CD and connected it's IDE connector and power to the Memtech 1.5
drive and removed the CD0 Mount thing from Devs/Dosdevices, and re-booted. I installed
and partitioned the drive with HDtoolbox and re-booted, but never got it to show me the
unformatted icons on the desktop, so I could format the partitions. I know it's not the drive
because I tried the same with a WD Caviar 2 gig and had the same issue. both are set correctly as slave.
However when I hook the CD ROM back up as slave and set the Memtech 1.5 as master
and boot from my AmigaOS3.9 emergency disk with the OS3.9 CD in, I can install and
partition the drive and on re-boot I get the unformatted icons and can format the partitions
just fine. but when I unhook the CD ROM and hook the 1.5 up as slave and the 6 gig up as
master, the 1.5gig wont mount again, even though it was installed, partitioned and
formatted under the emergency disk and mounted just fine.
scsi.device is the 44.2 from BB 3
anyone have any Ideas?
Thanks
