One problem at a time:
To improve the gvpscsi.device you need to put the newer version on the RDB of the HD (download the 4.15 version from Babel's site) and after made the first partition save changes to drive.
Also keep the gvpscsi.device on the expansion drawer and issue the binddrivers command after the assigns on the startup-sequence. Or even better: put the Babel's guru.rom on the drawer!
Install Workbench 3.1, then OS 3.9, but SCSI updates are simple waste of time on non-C= SCSI controllers!!!
So on the line who calls setpatch, put "skipROMupdates scsi.device" after the command.
FFS is a {bleep}! Prefer SFS or PFS on expanded Amigas!
