buddah problems
« on: September 28, 2008, 03:20:23 AM »
Hi everyone.  I'm finally getting around to installing a buddah board with a catweasel.  This is in a 2000 with a gvp 030 board and a scsi drive booting .  I have 2.1 roms i think.

My first problem is that I can't completely read the included floppy disk.  I guess I need to find a floppy image somewhere and make a new disk.

The next thing is that I'm not quite sure what to do.  I think I need to put some sort of driver from the floppy into a directory on the boot drive that gets read when the os boots.  I'm not sure of the particulars.  I can't tell if the floppy has an installation script because I can only read maybe half the files.  I can easily do this sort of thing by hand.  I just need to know what to move where.  I attached an ide hard drive and cdrom drive to the buddah.

So can someone help out with some steps?  How will I know when it's working?  I should get icons on the desktop for the new drives, right?

thanks

brian

Thanks.  I was going to keep booting off the scsi drives.  But I guess I could switch entirely over to ide.  The scsi controller is on the 030 board so it's probably faster than the buddah, but the ide drive is probably faster than the scsi drive.  I'll have to experiment I guess.
