IDE Question
« on: November 06, 2005, 01:48:10 AM »
I connected an Western Digital 15gb ide drive to my amiga, installed 3.9 fresh from the Amiga 3.9 cd and it began booting wonderfully. I even partitioned the first partition to 4gb and the remaining space into another. Everything was working great until I powered off.

Upon powering on, the machine continually crashed. I put in the emergency disk, booted, then it all worked again. The trick was the setpatch command. :|

Is there a boot loader or something I can install on the harddrive that runs this setpatch command? Basically I was wondering if there was a way that I dont have to boot from floppy the first time I power up.

I heard about the kickflash zorro card but even if I used that I need to flash a rom. I dont know if there is a ROM image that I can rekick that contains all the necessary patches.

Ideas?

Reinstalling now, I'll let you know how it goes. I was wondering if that might be a problem. :-\
