boot my A4000 from Df:0

[Boing-ball]

I am checking out all my Amiga stuff to sell and I am having an issue with my 4000 booting from floppy or my Gotek. It wants to boot from df:1 not df:0. I thought it was a bad drive but the Amiga Test Kit floppy boots fine and tells me the floppy is df:1.Also part of the problem, is it been a long time since I messed with my Amigas and I have forgotten most of what I once knew. Image is attached (monitor is fine this is because I used a cellphone).

1st check that you have the drive on the correct part of the cable. There are 2 connectors. If memory serves it should be DF0 on the twisted end.

2nd Check the Jumpers on the Mainboard. Is it set to DF0 internally?

3rd Is the jumper on the floppy drive set to DS0.

CD drives will work on an Amiga. For them to work, you will need a CDfilesystem in L: and a Mount point in Devs:DOSDrivers

My go to is a program called idefix97. Run the program in “Expert mode”. Especially if using OS3.2 and don’t choose to have the startup-sequence changed. If using 3.0 to 3.1.4 then this is fine to have the startup-sequence changed.
At the end it will help you identify the CD drive and set this up for you.
