A question for A4000 users.
« on: June 29, 2007, 05:04:21 PM »
Can your A4000 fully boot into an Install 3.0 and/or Install 3.1 floppy disk?

Mine can't  :-?

The floppy is read for about 8 seconds with nothing appearing on screen. Then after about another 15 seconds a red Software Failure guru is displayed. Then after about 3 seconds there is a reset and the whole cycle starts again.

There is no problem with booting into the Workbench 3.0 or Workbench 3.1 floppy disks.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks,
A4000 Mad

Thanks doctorq

If I were to delete the 68040.library, the 68060.library would still not fit on the Install floppy as it is 102K.

What else could I safely delete from the Install disk to make space for the 68060.library?

I'm also curious as to why there is no problem booting into the Workbench floppy disk as it does not have a 68040.library or a 68060.library in the Libs drawer?

Thanks
A4000 Mad

I had that problem once with the install on cyberstorm III. I just removed the 040.lib and it worked fine. I think it tries to use the 040.lib as it thinks the 060 is a 040.


Spot on mate! With the 68040.library deleted there is no problem booting into the Install disk at all :pint:
