Thanks, can't use it yet tho since install wont boot :/ Have any idea from above post why I get stuck in "insert floppy" kickstart screen?


Hi,

Yes, I do, on my Amiga 1200 I have to shut it all the way down put the Amiga OS 4.1 boot up disk upon power up. I also have to put the OS 4.1 dvd in the dvd rom turn on power then it goes from there I think, it has been at least a year since I loaded up 4.1 on my A1200, it ran so slow that I went back to OS 3.9. but now you have to remember my A1200 is only a 240 MHz ppc. Once again, it has been a long time since I played with my A1200, I have been using my A4000 most of the time.

but that is a story for another day, somehow you have to get that floppy to an SD, CF or whatever the Sam 440 uses so that it will boot up and install OS 4.1 on your hard drive, hey guy with a hard hat if you know the answer give the guy a hand.

The only other thing I can think of is you got the wrong version for the wrong computer.

Heck I don't know what I am talking about, if Franko was here he probably could help.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Hi,

Is your OS 4.1 for the Sam 440, I just went to Amigakit and it seems like there is several different versions.
