Classic WB Install on a Real A1200

[Bazzaq]

I installed classic on to a standard 1200 recently. I followed the instructions on the bloodwych site.

Installed into winuae using the hdf file and some workbench adf's.

Then zipped up the contents and made the boot floppy as said on the site.

Then copied the zip over using pcmcia cf adapter.

Booted the boot floppy i made and unzipped the .zip file onto the blank drive.

I bit fiddly to do the first time but once you have made it once its easy to reinstall.

You HAVE to make the zip file from inside winuae. unless somebody can supply you with one already made.. The main downloads from the main site are .hdf files, which are bootable hard disk images.

instructions are here>

method 2 is what im referring to.

So to make it you will require access to a pc with winuae, workbench 3.0/3.1 adf disk images. and some way of making the bootdisk from adf and a way to transfer the system.zip over, lite was just under 15mb.

The only way to avoid using winuae is for somebody else to do it for you using winuae.

then they would give you the system.zip already to go. you would then copy that to your amiga using the cf card. Then you unzip it using the bootdisk supplied in the classicwb archive.
