Workbench 3.0 Installation
« on: June 18, 2004, 05:32:37 PM »
Hey guys this may sound like a really stupid question to you but I just installed Workbench 3.0 with the installer and when my computer boots now it just goes to the commant prompt (amigados)

Should it do this, if it should what do I have to type?!

If not what am I doing wrong?

Cheers

I just tried that but even when booting from the floopy (I set DF0 as the boot drive in the startup menu) it still goes straight to AmigaDos and the 1> Prompt.

The startup file has loads of other stuff in it that it won't let me delete, none of them are commands which you have listed?

yes I've made the drive bootable and I can't get the command line to work, and there's nothing about Y to confirm, I dont believe I actually have a startup-sequence file...

There is no error, I have created a file using the editor called "startup-sequence" and put setpatch quiet etc in there, saved it but still I end up at the prompt on startup, Surely the install disk I bought (amigadeals) should have done all this for me?

It said on screen after everything was done to click proceed to reboot and start workbench...

The only file I have is called Ed Startup, originally there was no Startup-Sequence.

Yeah, according to the guy at Amigadeals the install program should sort out everything, although it hasnt so where I go from here I'm not really sure...
