When I install the PPC native version of SFS, where is SFS 'saved'? (Not in the RDB from what I know) And does this mean I cannot use the drive under OS3.9 anymore? How do I overcome this problem, is FFS better in this case?
SFS is likely copied to l: drawer, the generic place for storing filesystems. It's not recognized by the system until you install it to the RDB with HDToolBox/HDInstTool.
Is it okay/normal to enter values like heads, cylinders of my harddrive in hdtoolbox, to get the full 120gb recognised, or should I continue to get os3.9 to recognise it by itself? (I prefer and expected this, ofcourse)
No problem entering the correct values yourself.
IMHO - see if you can track down a copy of PFS3 and use HDInstTool. The direct-scsi version of PFS3 works great on the A1200 IDE with large drives, and provides a nice speedup.
Also - try doing a search on the topic and look for posts by user Thomas. He's very knowledgeable on the subject and has posted a wealth of good info.
