OS 3.9 Emergency boot disk

[KennyR]

winuae starts to load the disk and then I get alot of AMIGAOS3.9 has read errors, then the desktop appears with no icons and no menu, just a backround, I cant even get into a shell

The same happened to me when I tried to install OS3.9 a while back on UAE. UAE is broken. Instead of setting up your CDROM as a device on its own, select Mount PC Drives and use the CDROM that way. Not quite as flexible but at least the disc will be readable.

If you activate Add PC Drives you must remove the CDROM entry from the list, or UAE will get confused. Or rather, AmigaOS will.
