Startup-Sequence issuse!!! Will not boot! ***HELP***

[MaDDuck]

Oh man!!
 My main Amiga 4000 (as mentioned in the last post 'Amiga 4000 woes...) will not boot up now, I cleaned the SIMM socket even better and now leave it empty and it will pass the MLB test and boot up normally.
 
 I installed a standard IDE CDrom into it and set it for slave and rebooted.
 It booted up fine
 
 I then installed ASIMCDFS and proceded to copy the reccomended files to the reccomended directories.
 
 THEN I read that I should of run IDEFIX97 instead as this is an IDE CD drive.

 So I removed all of the files that the docs told me to copy, and rebooted.
 
 NOW I get a :
 Setpatch: Unknown command
 Setpatch failed returncode 10
 1>_
 
 I then searched T:, C:, S: and could not find setpatch at all!!
 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 THEN I tried 'ED STARTUP-SEQUENCE' and put a ';' infront of the setpatch command and it booted but it did not see the AGA set and would not run cross-DOS! I'm sure that there are other issues those are just the ones I noticed.
 ANY suggestions?
 I don't have the original 3.0 floppys anymore, burried, etc. I do have the 3.9 CD but I can't save any files to disk (on another computer) because cross-DOS won't work.
 I do have a WB 1.3 disk though! Is there a setpatch there? Will it work just well enough to get it to boot with cross-DOS??
 thanks!

ouchie!
That's what I was affraid of.
I have the 3.9 CD and on it is the complete 3.0 WB set. BUT I can only read it on my eMac and it cannot write to a disk that the A4000 will read as cross-DOS will not run!

I did not delete the setpatchmgrcop file, it is still in the correct directory where it has always been!!

[MaDDuck]

Sorry no!
Just the A4000, an eMac and a G5 tower.

but, again, the file seems to be there..... :-o

simple

type a ;  infron of setpatch in your s-s , then try again to start the system.

I'll try it, but I never got a chance to install IDEfix yet...

[MaDDuck]

It failed......
It prompted me to insert a:
I slid in the 1.3 disk (on a lark) and it did not work
Upon hitting cancel- it gave the same message as before!!!

ALSO-----
It is asking for setpatch, but the closest I could find is setpatchmgrcop!
what's the difference??

[MaDDuck]

I did try a ';' infront of the setpatch command as stated earlier and it booted.
But it did not see the AGA set or cross dos, etc....

I misread your earlier post and tried 'a:' instead of ';'
opps!!!

[MaDDuck]

yes---
But I can't get IDEfix97 off of the floppy because it is PC formatted!!

[MaDDuck]

I can't.....
IDEFIX is on a PC FORMAT floppy
CROSS DOSS does NOT RUN with SETPATCH ;'ed!!

I've e-mailed a friend about this, he's the guy I gave my PPC A1200 to when I upgraded.
I'll try to get him to either copy the file or mail me the HDD.... I've got an adapter!
