My first Amiga 4000, how to install Amiga OS?

[arjanv]

Hi,

I've got my first Amiga 4000, and workbench was installed but i've messed up partitions and won't boot workbench anymore.

I've got a original OS 3.5 CD here.

How to install Amiga OS?

Should a A4000 also show the kickrom(purple screen)?

thank you.

Purple screen is only shown if there is no bootable device.   so a HD partition with bootable flag ticked should give you a CLI..

you need to start with your installdisk.   you cannot boot on CD on An Amiga,.

purple kickstart screen is displayed about a long wait more than a minute.

the cdrom is attached to a Golem FastSCSI/IDE controller
