I want to create an OS 3.9 Boot floppy to install 3.1
« on: January 28, 2011, 05:08:42 AM »
I want to install WB 3.1 on my 8GB CF card in my 1200. Only OS 3.9 seems capable of doing this as SFS has failed me, thus far, and yes I read the docs and talked it over on the forums plenty.

So what I want to know is if I can make a Boot floppy with OS 3.9 and use it to boot my Amiga, set my partitions then install OS 3.1 on top of that. If so, what files do I need on the floppy from the OS 3.9 distro to make it boot and able to launch HDTools. Beyond that, what tweaks might I have to make to WB 3.1 to make all this work correctly?

Or, is there an easier way around all this?

Thankx!

Thankx, I'll have a stab at this tonight.
