Most Amiga users do NOT know how to create a BOOTABLE Amiga CD where you can actually run the software FROM the CD.

Actually I am curious to see how one gets to boot from the CD.  Do you need a CD32 to boot from a CD on a Amiga?  I own a A3000 and A4000 with CD-ROMs and have to mount the CD to see it, it is never avail at bootup.

Well, let's see. The CDTV and the CD32 can boot from CD's. A1200's and A3000/4000's with PPC-boards can boot from CD (the PPC-boards have a CD file system in their FlashROM). Also, other Amigas can be made to boot from CD with some software trickery.

OK, does that include my BlizzPPC603e board ? Because if the answer is yes, than I would really like to know how to make a CD bootable :-). where could I find more info on that subject ?[/quote]

Yes, that includes your blizzppc, hold the 'esc' key during powerup, and you will be in the flashrom menu of the blizzppc. There you can set up your CD-ROM drive as bootable (I assume you are using a scsi CD-ROM drive on the blizzppc scsi. I don't know if it will work with other controllers), IIRC there's a CDFS menu for this purpose.
If not, try locating some CD32 emu software (I think there might be something like that in the IDEfix package).
