Can't get WB3.0 / 3.1 Install disk to boot in WIN UAE

[skilgannon]

Hi folks,

I am the proud owner of a new 1.1 Minimig with ARM controller.  It's working great with ADF's but I'm trying to get it working with Workbench 3.1 (or 3.0) as I want to use WHDload with it.

I've created the Hard File for it in WINUAE (just using a 1gb hard file) but upon trying to get the workbench install disk to work so that I can install WB to the Hard file - it won't boot - just keeps coming back to the usual Amiga 1.3 boot screen.  I have proper WB install ADF's that came with my fully registered Amiga Forever set but it won't boot.  I've also tried other install disks to no avail.  

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Is it a seeting in Winuae that I've missed?

Cheers all

Ahhh - that explains it then.  So the highest Workbench level I can use on the Minimig is 1.3 then (given that it emulates the A500)?  I take it on WB1.3 I can do the same and install it to the hard drive?  My main goal is to get WHDLoad working.

Cheers folks

John

Oh!  That's not good!  The Minimig only emulates an Amiga 500 (68000 processor)

Phew - yes - I can change the kickstart  Thanks Thomas, I will do that and try getting wb3.1 to boot on WINUAE against the 3.1 Rom  Thanks all

Hi folks - I have a new issue now

I've created the hard file and set up WINUAE to be an Amiga 500, using the 3.1 A500 Kick Rom and yes the WB3.1 install disk boots now (YAY) but unfortunately HDToolbox can't detect the Hard File.  

Any ideas?

Cheers
