Smart File System issues

[XDelusion]

So I'm trying to set up SFS, I went through the docs, placed my SMartFile System file from L: into my Amiga's L: directory.

Loaded up HD tools, Added in the SFS. Made my partition, set the DOS type to 0x53465300
Changed the Max speed to 0x1FFFE. Saved, etc.

Problem is that those partitions do not show up when I reboot. I'm using an 8Gb CF Card so I have to prep the drive in the OS3.9 Emergency Boot disk as my Work Bench Disk will not see my card at all, be it in UAE or on actual hardware.

The above mentioned are the only steps I have taken, could I have over looked something?

I'd really like to get away from OS 3.9 and use WB 3.1. btw.

I'll consider OS 3.5 then.

As for the RDB, SFS has been installed in that as mentioned above. Per the instructions I put the SFS file in L: then loaded it into the Hard Drive via HDTools, now the drives do not show up at all.

Also, how will my 1200 see my Hard Drive if it is 8Gb and in FFS?

That's the thing, even though my drive is 8Gb, I all partitions are below 2G, in fact DH0 is only 500Mb. Regardless if I format DH0 as Fast File System as opposed to SFS, it still will NOT show up on a real Amiga, only UAE will see it.

As for OS 3.9, I never have these issues, but I'm loosing favor with 3.9 quick.

I am interested in buying a copy of 3.5, but for the moment, I'd really love to see 3.1 supporting my 8Gb drive, and I'd love if either UAE or my real Amiga could actually see the SFS partitions I've been creating (according to the sfs docs).
