As you were already told, if AmigaOS ends up at the command prompt, the startup scripts ended without loading workbench. The first cause could be that there are no startup scripts. Are you sure you installed Workbench on the boot partition and not on another one ? Enter CD at the prompt to check which drive is the current one.
If is it correct, open S:Startup-sequence with the Ed editor as told before. It should look similar to this:
http://home.t-online.de/home/thomas-rapp/download/Startup-Sequence.txtBTW. Ed lets you delete a line by pressing Ctrl-B. Changes are saved by pressing Esc and entering X. The editor can be closed without saving by pressing Esc and entering Q.
You may also try to copy the original Startup-Sequence from your Workbench disk as described earlier. The copy command does not ask for replacement. It silently returns to the command prompt if it was successfull or give an error message otherwise.
If the file Startup-Sequence is correct you might try to enter the lines
set echo on and
execute s:startup-sequence at the prompt. It should now list every command it executes and you can see where it stops.
If it gives an error message, please tell us the exact text.
Bye,
Thomas
