need help with A4000D IDE Harddrive
« on: March 10, 2006, 12:16:25 PM »
Today I got my first A4000D,I already got a CSPPC card a month ago so.  

well i put it all together and trying to install Workbench 3.1 or OS39, the setup is, A4000D with 3.1roms, CSPCC-233/68060+128mb ram,
a cybervision64, 2gb IDE hd(master) and IDE CD-RW(slave).


but theres no hd0: or cd0: in the early startup control,
and when i boot the 31 install disk my HD isnt displayed.!

I did try HDSetup and it partitioned the HD as 8mb Workbench and 2005mb work.
then i installed wb31 onto the workbench partion and rebooted when it asked me to.
after the reboot I`m back at the kickstart screen,so I boot of floppy again and find that the HD partitions have gone.

can someone help me with this problem please?

thanks
