OS 3.9 Installation problems

[Boot_WB]

Try creating the OS3.9 emergency disk (from the os3.9 install menu), booting from the emergency disk rather than from your hd0 to do the install of os3.9.

PS don't forget - mapped rom on the 1230iv is when the pins on the blizzard board are NOT jumpered.  Confused the hell out of myself with that one the other week and had to refer to the 1230iv user manual to refresh my memory (no pun intended).

As Thomas said though, if you don't own the kickstart rom hardware you shouldn't be using the softkicked ones.  They're pretty cheap on ebay at the moment anyhoo.

PS check out the os3.9 faq page by grreg donner

IIRC there's a copy on the 3.9 cd aswell (in os3.9/docs, or somewhere obvious like that)

Hmmm...  you shouldn't have to be typing loadwb - the startup-sequence should do all that for you.

Boot using your boot disk (or whatever you're using to get to workbench)
Go into tools drawer and double-click on HDtoolbox.  
Select scsi.device (even if you're using an ide drive).
Select the hard drive.
Click on Partition drive.
Select the partition you want to boot from.
Make sure the box (at the bottom middle) entitled 'make disk bootable' is checked.
Make sure there are no other bootable partitions.

Reboot - it should (if all is set up correctly) take you straight into workbench.

If not I recommend re-installing.  When installing make sure you have booted from the emergency disk created during the os3.9 install process.

If you want to use blizkick you need to call it from the startup-sequence on the partition from which you are booting.  The docs with blizkick tell you how to do this.
