OS 3.9 on A500 with Mega Midget Racer '030

And no joy.

All I get is the animation asking for a 3.1 boot disk.

Taking a break for the day as I'm getting a headache!

Sounds like your CF card isn't bootable. Load HDToolbox and check that the CF partition on which your OS3.9 installation resides is set to be automatically mounted and bootable.

Did you look at my screenshots?  What, exactly, are you seeing when you open the 3.9 CD?  Post a picture.  Do you see icons, like in my screenshot, or just the generic "tool" icon?  (hammerhead)

...Probably a file system issue, you need to get that addressed first.

OH, forgot to mention when I run the CD under Amiga Forever emulator, it works.

So, it really does sound like the CDFS is wonked.

Will try the OS 3.1 CDFS and see what happens.

Thought you would have tried the filesystem first, as there really is nothing else it could be other than a virus that hides .info files.

Alternatively, you could run the Installer command with the installation script file as its argument (as a last resort).
