OS3.9 Emergency Disk HELP

[motorollin]

There is a guide somewhere, I think on Thomas Rapp's web page, on how to create an Emergency Disk using a PC. You don't actually need UAE or a spare hard disk, but you do need to be able to read MSDOS disks on your Amiga (which you can with Workbench 3.1). I forget the exact details, but it basically involves putting the OS3.9 CD in to your PC, creating an archive of the Emergency-Disk drawer, transferring the archive to your Amiga, unarchiving it to a formatted, initialised floppy disk, and modifying the CD mountlist to match your hardware. I will have a look around and post a link to the guide if I can find it.

How did you create the Emergency Disk? If you use the OS3.9 installer then it should copy the 68#?.libraries for you. Not sure about the ppc.library, but you should be able to copy them manually from a 3.1 installation.

I would offer to create the disk for you, but I have a MKIII in my A4000, so I wouldn't be able to test whether the ppc.library was working properly.
