OS 3.9 Installation problems
« on: October 12, 2005, 02:51:13 PM »
Please help me .. I have problems installing OS 3.9

Here is my spec : - Amiga 1200 K/S 3.0 , Blizzard IV 030 board with 50Mhz and 16mb Fast ram , CD-Rom drive external scsi (through pcmcia) and internal 520mb HDD 2.5" . I use Blizkick and a kickstart kick31.rom to get kickstart 3.1 .
I have OS3.9 original CD-ROM .

HDD is partitioned automaticaly by Workbench 3.0 as HD0: 8mb and HD1: the remainder .

Obviously OS3.9 won`t install to HD0: so i installed it on HD1: .. It installed ok but when i reboot i get Workbench 3.0 loading . I`ve tried making the HD1 bootable and higher priority but when it tries to load it gives errors and asks for ENV and says it can`t load amidock or something .

Please help what am i doing wrong ?

remember that i deleted everything from my harddisk including workbench 3.0

thats why i`m using a bootdisk created using the driver disk of the cdrom
