Formatting USB sticks (Deneb / OS4 classic)

[wawrzon]

what format are you using? maybe its just that you re missing the appropriate filesystem in ur L:
if this is fat then im pretty sure fat95 isnt there..

im running here os3.9 and 4.0 on an a4k with a  deneb and no probs with neither kind of flash sticks up till now under neither version. its only that luciferin is not going to work under 4.0. i havnt also tried to have anything os4 related into flash so no early startup visible usb drives for os4, sorry theflash is occupied by my 68k custom kick and it isnt gonna change in foreseeable future.

i must admit im not sure if i ever tried to format usb under os4, even though as far as i recall the os4 mediatoolbox does allow me to access usbscsi.

maybe rdb is not getting read correctly, wouldnt it be safer to have sfsfilesystem in l: im not sure but i suspect sfs has both 68k and ppc filesystem versions? just checked i even run slightly different version under both system. definitely it has to be some minor issue.

look really weird. i have used the same sfs versions. i eradicated most of the sfs partitions i had because of other more serious problems i had with them so im not sure what could i check further. i believe though i have still a backup ssd with some sfs partitions on it. i shall try to attach it later under both systems, but i do not recall any such probs with that anyway..

by the way how about to head to http://www.a1k.org with your questions? chris hodges the programmer of poseidon is there a frequent guest, but he could be contacted via mail anyway. also michael boehmer, the hardware designer and producent of debneb visits there. is is a german forum but it has international section.

in this short thread chris explains what has to be done, just ignore my posts.. http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49677&highlight=deneb+boot
