File system to support 8 Gb Flash card?

[nicholas]

I can related to this... I just used two Transcend 133X 8GB cards in a dual-CF Syba (from Amazon) case.

I have a 512MB DH0: partition on one (bootable), 3.9 fully installed with Boingbag 1, 2, & 3, and a ~7.2GB partition left as DH2: (DH1 was my DLG BBS back in day, so DH2 is habit for me.)  The third CF partition, DH3: is 7.7GB, and it's another Transcend card.

Both use FFS.  I can verify that if you do early startup, the system can only see DH0.  I'm just now getting back into the Amiga scene after not having regularly used one since around 1997 (I used my A1200 in college from 1993-1997), so I still have yet to dig through the startup-sequence and the user-startup.  Boing Bag 3 did have me run some fancy setpatch arguments.  I did my install under UAE, so I don't even know if it did the right stanza for my A1200.

From the installer for BB 3:

(if (= (exists "DEVS:scsi.device" (noreq)) 0)
         (working
          (cat "You should add these lines to the start of S:Startup-sequence:\n\n"
               "SYS:C/LoadModule L:FastFileSystem L:RAM-Handler L:Shell-Seg LIBS:icon.library LIBS:workbench.library NOREBOOT REVERSE\n\n"
               "SYS:C/SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES fs,icon,ram-handler,shell,workbench QUIET\n\n"
               "and remove the existing SetPatch line."
         ))
         ;else
         (working
          (cat "You should add these lines to the start of S:Startup-sequence:\n\n"
               "SYS:C/LoadModule L:FastFileSystem L:RAM-Handler L:Shell-Seg DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:icon.library LIBS:workbench.library NOREBOOT REVERSE\n\n"
               "SYS:C/SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES fs,icon,ram-handler,scsi.device,shell,workbench QUIET\n\n"
               "and remove the existing SetPatch line."
        )))

So, does anyone know what exactly *enables* the larger file systems in the 3.9 startup-sequence so that the system sees them?  Is it one of the setpatch commands, above?

It's the SCSI.device and FastFileSystem bits that do it.
