OS 4.1FE Classic Install
« on: January 09, 2016, 03:54:02 PM »
I am attempting to install the classic version of 4.1 and it doesnt boot past the point of even getting to an install option. I have tried the boot disk it comes with, some of the others on the CD and no luck.

The boot floppy boots the machine fine. I get the screen that shows the ROM is loading. I see the OS4.1 screen and it tells me the display will switch if an RTG card is detected. I then see some color screens flash by and it just sits on the OS4.1 logo over a black screen on the RTC monitor. So I know it at least can see my Voodoo 5 but hangs up and wont go further.

I  have my memory set to 70ns and maprom is off like the manual tells me to do on my CSPPC. My Main HD is on the cyber.scsi and my CD-ROM is on the A4000T scsi. HD is split into 2X 1.9GB partitions, a 4GB and an 8GB work set.

Hardware is:
A4000T 16MB
CSPPC 128MB
Mediator with Voodoo 5, 5500, 8139A and 8129 Ethernet cards, Spider 2 USB and a FM801 sound card.

I also have a bigramplus install and understand thats only used for swap space and not system ram in OS4.

I registered over at the Hyperian forums but they still havent activated the account. No place else i can think to ask for help with this one.

Well you had me scared so I ran all the test I could think of on my CSPPC. All the demos from WarpUP from the OS3.9 install CD work perfectly.

Must be something else causing 4.1FE to not install.

Well, I will see about moving it over to the cyber.scsi port then. I'll need to figure out how to get the CD drive working again with it. Is it as simple as just going into devs and changing from scsi.device to cyberscsi.device?

I also have a couple of IDE CD-RW drives and nothing on my IDE header at all currently. How would I add an IDE drive to cacheCDFS?
