Probem installing OS3.9 on 1200
« on: April 29, 2008, 02:47:55 AM »
I am having problems installing OS3.9 on my A1200.  I have:

A1200
IDEFix Express
A1230 Turbo+ II

I can install 3.1, IDEFix and make a emergency boot disk.  I then reboot and get the following error:

Cannot ope "workbench.library", version 45.
Unable to run "AmiDock"

The 3.9 FAQ was no help.  Is there something I need to do to make this run?

The HD is blank.  I get this error just booting from the emergency disk, which I have tried to make 3 times.

I have 3.1 ROMS

I can't install yet because I need to partition the HD and format it, but hdtool from the emergency disk crashes, likley from a missing workbench

Will check the version.  I did do the SKIPROM UPDATES, but not the LoadIDE as there is no file called LoadIDE, just IDEfix

I booted from the disk again and ran setpatch from command line.  It says setpatch is already installed and is version 44.16

Rom updates:
console.device,console 44.6
ram-handler,ram 44.21
filesystem.resource,filesysres 45.7
filesystem.resource,fs 45.9
AmigaOS Rom Update, RomUpdate 44.26

I managed to get it installed the hard way.  I installed 3.1 and IDEFix, then upgraded to 3.5, and finally to 3.9.  Now I just have to figure out why the HDToolbox shows the drive as being 8 Gig still.
