Need help with A3000 with Super Kickstart

[alberonn]

Help I am working on an A3000 with the Super Kickstart ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have the Super Kickstart disk. I did rescue the kickstart file from the devs: directory though.

I prepped the HD on an A2000 with 2.04 ROMs and installed 2.1 on the HD the copied the kickstart file to the devs: directory. Now instead of getting the Kickstart screen, I get a very 1.3 looking screen complaining about DH0: being a NDOS disk. Is there anyway I can get this computer up and running with just the file I have or does our user have to get a new ROM??? He was planning on eventually upgrading, but we'd like to get his computer up and running now until he can get the ROM(s).

Thanks for all of the help guys. If I understand correctly the Physical name of
the drive must be WB_2.x? (Not the Logical name? Physical names are usually like
DH0:) That's one easilly fixed problem, however I did FFS Intl format the drive
so a reformat will be in order. (After some horror stories I've heard, I'll
never use DC on a partition again. That and I've had some issues with DC
formatted partitions before.)

I do have the KICKSTART file from the HD that came with the A3000 and it was
booting fine. That should work just fine. I appricate the DMS of the disk it
will make having to do a reinstall MUCH easier when needed. Our club member who
owns the system is thinking of getting the 3.1 ROMs for it later, but he wanted
it working until he can get them. Besides he'd like it for historical reasons.

Where can I find a 3.1 Super Kickstart?

Update on the status of the A3000:

The owner of the system has been very happy since the A3000 has been running very good right now. It still running OS 2.1, but he does plan on eventually trying to get the 3.1 ROMs and put OS 3.9 on it.

Thanks for all of the info and insight you guy have offered. It was instrumental in getting that system back up and running.
