What am I doing incorrectly ?

Edit your startup-sequence with:

Code: [Select]

ed s:startup-sequence

Then remove the >NIL: part of the line with C:Version. Save it and reboot.

It should spit out a more descriptive error message so we can diagnose the cause of this problem more easily.

hmmm... Very strange indeed.

Where did you get the 3.1 disks from? Are they from the original floppy pack or made from ADF's off the net?

[nicholas]

I made them from tosec I had as some of the originals are damaged, I was wondering if that is the prob.

I suppose it's possible.

I could archive up a working A3000 OS3.9 install for you if you like.  You'd have to figure out some way to transfer it your SCSI HD though.

Perhaps you could put it in a PC and use UAE to do it if you have a PCI SCSI card.  The adaptec ones go for about $10 on ebay.

I have SCSI 2 controllers you could probably use for the price of shipping.

nicholas, could you make a similar archive for an A2000?

Yeah, I don't see why not.

Glad it's working now.

You might want to give BetterWB a try now you've got 3.1 installed.

I may do the betterWB, but I want to experience the C= os warts and all for a bit to get a feel for the baseline user exp. Like following the recipe a time or two before tweaking it. Never used an amiga, so don't know what gripes to have yet. Other than Picasso96 seems to be a p.i.t.a. to get configured...prob just "noobness"..lol.

Try using this if you are still having trouble configuring P96:

Also the latest P96 with bug fixes and slightly better performance can be found here:
