the way i did it was to install OS 3.1 off floppy. I then installed the drivers for my fasATA ( its like your buddha) which came with a CD device driver and Cd Filesystem. You should have a device driver floppy for the buddha and you can get a demo of IDEFix off aminet to recognise the IDE CD on the buddha if you don't have a CD Filsystem for the Buddha. Then stick your OS 3.9 CD in and install OS 3.9, then the boing bag updates. You can get rid of the demo version of IDEFix as OS 3.9 has its own cd filesystem and ide drivers.
