hope it explains enough for you to get the drive formatted and file system installed

If you have KS2.04 Rom installed get the Workbench2.1 OS installation disks... much nicer install system, better OS functions etc

If you have the harddrive prepared is fastfilesystem actually placed into the master boot record on the physical harddrive?

You do need this, if I remember it is part of the ICD partitioning tool. If its not on the disk, it will be on an old workbench 1.3 disk under the L: directory >hope my memory is correct here<

With the partition correct, fastfilesystem in the bootsector and everything formatted, install workbench2.1 should be no problem.

Hope that helps

If the install disk for AmigaOS2.1 does not recognise the DH0: device then something has not been setup correctly within the ICD partitioning program.

There is a small BootRom built onto the ICD AdIDE board to allow auto device booting even under Kickstart 1.3

Kickstart 2.04 Rom works with the AdIde, I have setup an A500 with a small 2.5inch harddrive and WorkBench2.1

Recheck the steps for the ICD mickey mouse partitioning software. Make sure you have edited the txt file with the correct harddrive parameters. The partition software should auto detect once these paramters match the harddrive physically connected to the board.

Check that the device name = DH0:
that the L:fastfilesystem is there on the ICD disk or on another Workbench1.3 disk >easy enough to copy across if missing<

Give the partition a name when formatting the device with the fastfilesystem >do not use international fastfilesystem flags or any other than the original KS1.3<

Lets hope you get further this time

If there is a WorkBench 1.3 installed onto the drive, delete the s:startup_sequence

also in C: delete the setpatch program

hopefully this will stop the guru problem
