I deleted all that stuff so that when I install CD support for OS 3.9, it does not try to install the demo software from what ever drive I booted from...
Anyhow, I created an Emergency disk, and when I reboot, it refuses to see SCSI Device 1.
I decided to take a look at the Emergency Disk startup-script, and realized that it uses IDEFix if it is in C:
So I dropped IDEFix into C: rebooted, and all is well, but I'm cursed with pop up screens telling me I am using shareware again.
So I go ahead and install OS 3.9 onto a blank hard drive. I tell it to go ahead and copy CD support from the Emergency boot disk and it does so, but I saw it copy IDEFix over while it was at it.
So I rebooted, everything came up, I was using 3.9, but still with the curse of IDEFix's pop up screens...
(CacheCDFS no longer pops up BTW, one victory at least).
I then deleted IDEFix and rebooted to come to a screen that says:
can't find scsi device 1. 
Please try to do the following:
1. Remove the IDEfix from C: and atapi.device from Devs: on your harddisk boot partition.
2. Open SYS:Devs/DOSDrives/EMERGENCY_CD and replace "atapi.device" with "scsi.device"
3. Rename EMERGENCY_CD to CD0 or CD1
4. Remove all other CD mountlists from DEVS:DOSDrivers
5. (not really needed) Copy CacheCDFS from AmigaOS 3.9 CD to SYS:L
6. Open SYS:S/Startup-Sequence and make sure there is a line containing "SetPatch QUIET"
If there is only a line containing 'SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET', that's why the built-in free CD-ROM support is not working.
7. Reboot your Amiga and enjoy the free CD-ROM support.
Alternative you can try this:
0. Make a copy of your Emergency Disk
1. On the Emergency Disk remove the IDEfix from DF0:C and atapi.device from DF0:Devs
2. Open DF0:Devs/DOSDrives/EMERGENCY_CD and replace "atapi.device" with "scsi.device"
3. (not really needed) Copy CacheCDFS from AmigaOS 3.9 CD to DF0:L
4. Open DF0:S/Startup-Sequence and make sure there is a line containing "SetPatch QUIET"
If there is only a line containing 'SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET', that's why the built-in free CD-ROM support is not working.
5. Start you Amiga using this modified Emergency Disk and install OS 3.9 on an empty partition.
