How to format a CF in PCMCIA cf card adapter
« on: September 09, 2011, 09:18:06 PM »
I am trying to amiga format a CF card through my PCMCIA CF adapter, partition it, install WB3.1 and boot WB from it The card is reckognized successfully in the Amiga Workbench, I managed to Quick format it (normal format did not work) and install (hopefully successfully) WB3.1 using the Install WB3.1 disk that comes with the original package.
 
I think I am stuck in the booting, becasue when I tell my Amiga to boot from CC0 from the hardware boot option (both mouse buttons pressed), it will not boot at all.
 
A different sidenote, i noticed that if I change the priority order between Floppy and CC0, then reset, and enter again the boot menu, the order is lost / not saved. Is this because the battery of the Amiga isdead? I never changed the battery and the date shows wrong!
 
 
Can amiga boot from CC0: ?
 
Please help!

Thanks friends, I wait the CF-IDE adaptor and boot from there.
 
By chance, can one boot from a CD-ROM using scsi1230.device ? My boot devices are only CC0 and DF0 in the earlystartup menu
