instaling 3.1 and or 3.9 help

[Ancalimon]

It's a good idea to connect the cfcard to your PC and install OS3.9 and boingbag updates that way since you probably will have problems using a cdrom together with cf card.

Using SFS is as simple as choosing SFS as the filesystem and entering the required identifier inside HDToolBox.

There are essential things you have to keep in mind like max transfer rate and keeping your first boot partition inside the 4gb limit. (from my experience it's best to have a partition at the beginning of your drive that is not larger than 2gb)

I am guessing you mean amiga forever on the PC

WinUAE alone would do. Of course you will need a working AmigaOS environment before doing anything. Since you have OS3.9 CD at hand I would recommend Amikit. Wait a few days and the latest version will be made available for download.

To use the scsi device, you would need an accelerator with scsi controller. If you don't want to use WinUAE, you can connect a regular IDE CD device as slave together with a master harddrive if the cdrom does not work as slave with the cfcard.

Then you need to install AmigaOS 3.1 from the floppies. You can find a CD0 file inside your Storage/Dosdrivers drawer. Since CDROM is going to be slave, it means CD0 files unit number needs to 1.

After that you can create emergency boot floppy from the OS3.9 cd and install OS3.9 "best on an empty partition" after booting from the floppy. Then you install the boingbag1 and boingbag2 since they also need the cd in the drive.

After that you can remove the cd drive, connect your cfcard and transfer the os3.9 installation there.
