Clean Install on CyberStormPPC
« on: February 08, 2006, 03:08:35 AM »
I would like to make a clean install on my A4000D installed in an Elbox PowerTower w/Phase5 CyberStormPPC 060/60mHz-604e PPC/233mHz.

Any of you have ideas of how to make a completely new clean install starting with OS3.1, since it does not have support for the CSPPC/060 on the original 3.1 install disks?

I am not happy with my current OS3.5 install and I am having trouble with the CSPPC scsi controller.  It does not appear to be scanning the scsi bus for devices during the startup of the Amiga.  I can see devices on the cbppc.device chain with the included scsiconfig or unitcontrol tools, but have not been able to get the devices to show up on the Workbench to make them usable, even after mounting them.

I also want a clean install as I am going to change graphics cards and add some other additional cards and want to start with a clean system.

Any ideas?

I sold the A3640 long ago.  There must be a way to copy the files needed from the 3.1 install and add the required libs for the 060 to a floppy to make an 060 useable 3.1 install disk.

What OS are you running on your Toaster/Flyer, 3.1, 3.5, or 3.9?

If I don't get any good ideas and can't figure it out myself, maybe I'll just keep my semi-working OS3.5 install, install the Toaster/Flyer hard and software and try to fix my problems with the CSPPC cybppc.device scsi chain instead of trying to do the clean install.

Just copy all files manually from the Workbench disks, after you have booted without startup-sequence. Then copy the 040 and 060 libraries to libs: and you have your clean install of OS3.1.


For those of us (such as myself), that have been away from the Amiga for years and are reviving our old machines, your quote may not make sense.  Can you make it clearer for people like me that may have less Amiga knowledge than yourself?
