OS3.9 install...HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[n9uxu]

Greetings!  I need some help before I pull out my hair.  I finally received a scsi device that works (squirrel) for my A1200.  I had OS3.1 installed and did a full install of 3.9.  

Upon reboot, I got a resource.library v44 error (cannot open amidock).  After searching the forums and the faqs, I found that I needed to install the boingbag updates.  As is, I can't get my 3com 3c589 net adapter working, so I found the bags in lha format on a german site (http://os.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=12) and burnt them to a cd.

I copied bag 1 over to the hard drive and realized unarc won't work (gives the resource.library error), so I stuck in a floppy with lha and managed to extract the archive.  However, when I click on the install icon, I get the following error:

"Sorry and error has occured!  Interpreter: Executing non-function"

I'm stuck...real stuck...any advice appreciated.

Seems like you didn't use the Emergency-disk for the OS3.9 install.
Just copy the INSTALLER from C directory on your Emergency-disk section on your OS3.9 cd to your C directory on your OS3.9 hd partition and run the Boingbag install again  ;-)

I did actually use the e-disk.  However, last night I was able to resolve the resource.library issue by manually recopying the resource library file and all the 3.9 gadgets.  You are correct about the installer file as I am currently installing bb1 as we speak.  Makes me wonder how many other files are botched.  

Now all I need to figure out is how to setup my 3c589 network adapter.

I will be using genesis.  I've downloaded and installed the 3c589.lha patch (places 3c589.device) in devs/networks, but I am getting zero play across the 10baseT.  There was a note in the readme that I might have to plug it into a windows box and specify whether to use 10bT or coax, but I didn't have time to futz.

Hmmm...well, I tried removing and inserting while powered on and then running genesis, and I keep getting no play.  Bootp request fails.  I'll pop it into my laptop and see if I can make it sing and then I'll try the card reset.  

I assume you didn't make any special config?  Just ran the genesis wizard, selected network and let it choose its defaults?

Ugh...what a night...first suprise is that the side slot on my dell is not a pc card slot...not sure what it is...the size is keyed for pcmcia, but when you peer down the slot there is just a tiny little connector.  So...no testing the adapter.  

I then go to the 1200 and it can not see the cd drive anymore regardless what I do...it says cd0: is mounted, but no cd...

fiddle...

fiddle....

What the?  I'm not paying attention and format the boot partition...ugh...

Emergency boot floppy won't boot...

fresh 3.0 install underway....

GADS!

I quit!  Fresh install of 3.0 went fine.  Installed the squirrelscsi software and nothing.  No CD drive to be found anywhere.  No indication of anything wrong.  squirrelmount doesn't see a drive...workbench is clueless...doesn't matter what I set the ID too...ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!  It is time to frickin' walk away...

Interesting...when I setup the squirrelscsi first time, it installed the squirrelscsi device.  However, when I installed it last night, there is no squirrelscsi.device to be found anywhere.  Also, no squirrelscsi.library file.  Muy weirdness.
