Installing 060 ppc

[Audun]

Hey folks

I've been attempting to install my csppc card on my a4k. I have a scsi harddrive hooked up to the csppc, and it won't let me boot from this hd until I have installed the 060/ppc drivers, or at least that's what I think- it gurus in mid-boot.

Soo, I boot from the 3.1 floppy. Try to run the installer, but then it will only attempt to install the drivers on the workbench diskette no matter what destination I choose for the installation.

I tried using RAD, but no go since I can't run ed to edit the file to make it bigger so I could copy workbench onto it.

I would appreciate any helpful suggestions to get this installation done! Maybe someone could email me an edited version of RAD? It's located on storage, devs-dosdrivers. I would need the file to have the "hicyl" value at "160". Please, if someone could email it to my spam account: pcmciahomie@hotmail.com

Thanks for reading!

Flashlab:

tried that, it doesn't recognize any commands when I boot without startup sequence. I can't browse the harddrive, use copy, loadwb, etc.


Robert:

Man you got my hopes up! That's exactly what happened, the install disk gurus but the wb 3.1 diskette boots just fine. However when I boot with wb3.1 floppy and then switch to the install disk the ppc 'systemdisk' 060 installer still prompts for the workbench 3.1 floppy, and when I insert it starts to write to it and then whines that it is full etc. Are you sure there is nothing else you did to make this install work ?

The harddrive is already mounted though, I tried mounting it again in the p5 scsi tools. Still no luck, it keeps asking for the wb 3.1 floppys

The hd doesn't get detected in hdtoolbox nor hdinstall, only the p5 scsi thing.

Any ideas?

Yes, no luck

lmao

it wasn't harder than to copy the 3 libs from the ppc system floppy to the hd. GAH why didn't anyone say anything?! :} It's working now! (til I encounter the next problem)

Thanks anyway for trying to help, I really appreciate it :]
