Deneb troubles

[webmany]

I recently picked up a deneb for my A3000.  Everything is installed and running in Z2 mode (freezes in Z3 mode, but I think I know the fix for it).

I have all the software installed, but I do not have MUI.  I have a copy on CD, but can't use the cdrom as it is a usb.

I have tried using the command line to get the drive up and going but am having no luck.  When I try adding the hardware using the following:
addusbhardware DEVS:USBHwarde/denebz2.device
I get failed.

Anyone know where I can find instructions on how to get the usb cdrom running without using the trident program, and just using the command line?

Thanks for the help.  I managed to get everything working except for cdroms.

When I try using a disk, the debug shows it loading AmiCDFS (Loaded filesystem L:AmiCDFS via DOS!), but then run into this:
Couldn't find/load filesystem for usbscsi.device uinit 0 as UMSD:
Possibly no FAT32 installed?)

I checked L: and I have AmiCDFS and fat32 listed.

MUI is not included in the installer image. You can perfectly use Poseidon without MUI, but you will not be able to configure things (or get popups).

To use Poseidon without MUI, use

AddUSBHardware DEVS:USBHardware/deneb*usb.device (where * is either z2 or z3pio or z3dma according to your configuration).
AddUSBClasses
SYS:Prefs/Trident NOGUI SAVE

After that, you can just use ENVARC:PsdStackloader to start the stack. Note that the above steps are also done during the first installation (though it is a bit tricky there, because when you are installing from the Rescue image, you are always in Z2 mode).

As mentioned in the other posting, you the mass storage class will by default attempt to use AmiCDFS as a CD file system and FAT95 for FAT formatted media. But you can of course use the included UMSD mountlist as a template to mount whatever you like.

To see what's happening use

PsdErrorlog

for a list of errors and messages.

I had to add NOCACHE on the setpatch statement in Startup-Sequence

Did you get yours to run in Z3 mode yet? Like yours, mine too freezes when in Z3. Someone a while back suggested re-seating the zip RAM, but I have yet to try that. Wondering what you thought the fix was...

Never mind, got it.  Had to setup ASIMCDFS properly.

Thanks for the help
