I have extracted the LHA archive to the 2nd drive on my A4000 and renamed it "system".  When I boot using the second drive via the early startup screen, I get the message "Please insert volume E in any drive".  If I cancel then the Amiga DOS screen fills with ".y." characters and it reports an unknown command.

@ DaryASYS

Thanks for the reply and sorry it has taken me a while to reply.  I'm on vacation in the UK and tried the installation the night before I departed.  I'll try again when I get home, but this is exactly what I did:

My system has 2 drives, the primary has OS3.9 installed and I wiped the secondary boot drive.

Booted system to OS3.9
Downloaded the LHA file and placed it onto my primary hard drive in the root directory.
Selected "View All Files"
Double clicked on the LHA file and extrated it to the secobdary drive boot partition.
ALL FOLDERS EXTRAXTED WITH NO ERRORS AND WERE VISIBLE
Rebooted the Amiga
Used Early Start-up to select the lower priority secondary drive as the boot device.
Drive starts to boot and then reports the problem locating the "E" drive.

I'll give it another whirl when I get home and try adjusting the boot priority of the drives so the AmigaSYS drive boots first without having to use the Early Start-Up menu.  I'll be back in the USA on the 4th.

Cheers.
