mounting IDE hard drive on A600 using KS1.3&WB 1.3

[Thomas]

So what program can I use to get these infos about the CF hard drive?

Runs on 1.3, but needs more than 512 kb RAM. Use "Select RAW device" and "Create mount list" from the menu. The mount list needs to be edited. The function is not meant to be used with whole harddisks.

Make sure that FastFileSystem is in the L directory of your boot disk.

"Now" means what?

[Thomas]

If you made partitions (even one partition), then LowCyl = 0 definitely is not the right value. Check HDToolbox. Or try hit or miss LowCyl = 2; HighCyl = 994.

In the meantime I've written a program which reads the partition table and creates a mount list from it.

I've also added an example boot disk. Note that the boot partition must be named DH0. The disk does not work if the partition has another name.

How does the rdbml program work, it gives me an "reduired argumet missing" when opened trough shell ?

You can get the command line template from every Amiga shell command by entering the command name followed by a question mark.

The hard drive has a freshly installed WB 2.05 in boot partition named "DH0".

WB 2.0 does not boot on Kick 1.3. You need to install WB 1.3 to the HDD you want to boot from.
