Hello all,

I'm having a strange and frustrating problem.

My Amiga 2000 has a manual kickstart switcher with a 3.1 and 1.3 rom, an A2091 scsi card, a scsi drive with Workbench 3.1 on it, and an inability to boot from floppy whenever the 1.3 rom is activated.

The error I get is "Please insert volume LIBS into any drive".  I tried a 2.04 workbench and a 1.3.3 workbench disk -- they all say the same thing.  Those disks work fine on my A600 of course.

I mentioned all the extra hardware because it is ONLY when the 1.3 rom is active, and ONLY when I have the scsi hard drive plugged into the 2091 that I have this problem. Remove the SCSI drive, and it boots fine. If it matters, I think the 2091 is the 4.1 variety with 2mb ram, and none of the 3 option jumpers set.   I set the boot partition on the drive to priority -31 so the floppies would certainly come first.

My understanding is that this is not an uncommon configuration of hardware. :(

Any advice is appreciated,
Bo Zimmerman

OK when you are booting with the 1.3 rom you have to use a 1.3 or lower (1.2 / 1.1 /1.0) floppy workbench.

Now when in 3.1 mode it should boot all work benches, at least it does with my Amiga 1200 which is using OS 3.9 which uses a 3.1 rom.
Now this should make sense to you, because it makes sense to me, I think, but if it doesn't make sense to you, you can contact that guy in the miner hat, is it solraK, or Wayne, you know sometimes I get things backwards, but any whoose solraK used to be a moderator / monitor who gave a pretty good display.
