Install AOS 3.5 3.9 from CF card or other media?

[TheGoose]

Has anyone tried to install AOS 3.5 / 3.9 from something other than the CDROM? My latest project will not have a CDROM or a floppy, but does have a working PCMCIA CF adpter working fine.

:confused:

Any way this could work or be tricked into working?

Thanks for ideas...

Ah! (assign "AmigaOS3.9:") this is just the trick I was thinking might exist. This sounds promising - thank you Tone007.

It worked!

I did not even need to do the assign for the AOS3.9 install disc. I just went over to my XBUNTU laptop and did the copying on to FAT 95 CF. Moved it back over. Then took a chance and clicked on the install for AOS 3.9. It bitched about not booting from an emergency disk, gulped my beer and clicked next.

Went straight from OS3.1 to 3.9 no problems from PCMCIA CF card. Cool.
