OS 3.9 bootup prog, need help
« on: June 20, 2004, 03:43:39 PM »
Everytime I boot up my A1200T I get this message

"Cannot open cdrom.device unit 0"

Have an IDEFIX adapter with IDEFIX'97 software (version 2.13) installed which my cd-rom and hdd are connected to.
As I am a pc damaged person I'm not so good at Amiga's software so can anyone here help me on a simple level?
I really apreciate the help I got thru this forum so far.
I closer now to finish my A1200T which is my dream come true thanks to all of the help I've gotten here.

Thanks for the quick help/reply's

Mine is called CD2 not CD0, think the IDEFIX software named it like that and there are no tooltypes for the icon at all.
The only CD0 icon I have is in my AmigaXL folder which is located in DEVS/DOSDrivers
Shall I just rename it to CD0 or shall I install the IDEFIX software again with other settings, have thought about installing the latest version which is version 3xx something.

I have OS XL with OS3.9 in it.
The Amiga XL folder with CD0 is in my DEVS:DOSDRIVERS folder.

This is how my CD2 icon looks like in a text editor:

It's positioned as master on the 2nd IDE channel on my IDEFIX adapter and the CDROM is set as master on the jumper at the back.
The cd works ok in workbench and is mounted at startup it's just that my computer can't boot into my Picasso96 mode and my voodoo card settings doesn't start just because of this so now I have to have my NEC 3D monitor hooked up also so I can click past the bootup error message because the voodoo drivers haven't been loaded up before the message turns up, lol

Problem solved (my way)

Removed and backed up the CD0's that were in DEVS/DOSDrivers:AmigaXL & AMIthlon.
Looked at the startup sequence that it tried to mount those which must have ran in conflict with the IDEFIX mounting.
You learn something new everyday, wish I knew more about how Amiga OS'es work have used PC's too much after I sold my miggy in '93
Now I just need to get my SB128 card working in my miggy and configure MiamiDX so I can view this page from my miggy instead of my Xeon-can  :hammer:
