No booting with A590
« on: March 06, 2016, 02:48:06 PM »
Hello, I´m writing from Germany.

Last week I get an A590 HD. But my Amiga 500 with KS 1.3 won´t start with it.
I get an error called not a dos disk in Unit 0.

When I turn power on the screen gets in a white screen and waits a few seconds. The HDD leds blinks at that moment. After that I get that error.
After clicking a few times on abort the CLI promt comes and the Disk Drive works in Background, but nothing happens.

Without the A590 the Amiga boots normaly the disks.

Dips are 1-4 "- _ _ _" Only Kickstart 1.3 Autoboot Rom is on.
I tried DIP No.3 for delay. but it was the same.

I can´t start the System with the A590 plugged in.
It doesnt boot from Disk in this case.

It´s the same when I reset it.

But how can I manually execute the startup sequence in the CLi?
Which command do I need for that?

I get an error:

Unable to load Sys:System/FastMemFirst: its not a valid DOS disk

I think it will access the hard drive and gets an error.

My next question is how to assign the root of a disk? I learned it to do with single Folders. But if I start the prepHD Prog it will access some Files in the root Path. But the file is on Disk.

When I disable Autoboot on Dip switches HDtoolbox finds no Drive.

I was possible for me to boot into Workbench with the 590 Setup Disk.
In this way i can see the harddrive in hdtoolbox. But if i click on save nothing happens anymore. I can click on any button, nothing happens. Only a restart helps. The lowlevel format breaks after reading prep script is on screen.

I will make later a video to show you what I mean.
It´s not so easy for me to explain you what happens.
