FastATA4000 Problems!

[preacher]

lo all

Got some problems with my FastATA4000. If I connect an IDE drive to the internal IDE port of the A4000D, it's working just fine. And it's fairly quick too.
However, if I remove the internal drive and put it on the primary channel, as master, it just refuses to boot.
If I go to the early boot menu, I can see that it can find the drive but it just won't boot!

The system is an Amiga 4000D w. Apollo 3040@40Mhz + 64Mb RAM. The FastATA controller is Rev 1.2.

Btw, to be on the safe side I used a 500MB drive when testing...

The longest I've waited so far is 15 minutes...

On Elbox' site, it says v2.5? That's what I use anyway (v25a33)

I've made some progress. I created a new bootdisk with the driver on it and set the PIO-mode to 0. Mode 3 was also working, but I can tweak more when the system is up and running. Thanks for the tip! :-D

Now I only have one problem left. Getting access to the CDROM. AllegroCDFS is located in the L: drawer and I've also copied the CDx mountlist from the FastATA floppy. The CDROM doesn't show up when I do a manual mount. I have a feeling I'm forgetting something...  :-?

I've done that with FastATAPrefs. The CD is master on second channel, so the mountlist should be CD2 on 2nd.scsi.device.
I'm not running any OS yet. That's what I'm trying to install. The boot floppy is OS3.1 though.
I recon I need to create an OS3.9 boot floppy to be able to partition the drive anyway. I'll let you know how it goes  :-)
