Workbench 3.0 Installation

[seer]

Did you copy paste the link posted ? You should check if the startup-sequence is "executable", if it's not Amiga Dos won't run it. (Tho checking that is easiest in Workbench..)

Try "protect s:startup-sequence +e" and reboot, or firts try "execute s:startup-sequence"

[seer]

What does it say if you "protect it" ?

Delete or rename the startup-sequence, and make a new one. To test, only take the needed lines (setpatch quit, loadwb, endcli).. Again, type execute s:startup-sequence.

I may be mistaken, but I think execute needs the +e flag set as well.. (protect filename +e)

Is there an startup-sequence.info ?

Can you try to load WB ? Just type setpatch and after that loadwb.. Either close the cli with endci or minimize (sp?) it.

Go to the drive where you put WB, select show all files, go to the "s" directory and look for the startup-sequence. Select it and select "information" from the menu (or press A + i)

You should be able to make the changes there, off course, only if my guess is right about the protection bit that is...

reinstall AmigaOS3.0 again . . . if you have all the 6 original disks.

Hope he does, if I understood correctly, the workbench disk didn't have a working boot either anymore..

[seer]

no need to have a working boot partition to install a new OS

He didn't have a bootable workbench floppy anymore as well.. And the install does need the workbench floppy, if the one you use isn't working you can forget about installing.

the install diskettes make all the job.

Well, if the install f*cked up first time, he may as well have a f*cked up install disk..

startwb should be loadwb  :-)

Just trying to get some games installed now, with more problems lol

Well, the startup-sequence you have now is very limited, you really should try to get the original installed..
