Installing WB Lite on CF for amiga 600
« on: March 17, 2012, 11:28:11 PM »
Hmmm,

i'm having a few probs trying to install wb lite (bloodwych) onto a 4gb transcend cf card.

I've done this before for a1200 so i hoped it would be similar, however...

I only get as far as partitioning the drive on hdtoolbox, but the drive partitions never appear on wb for me to quick format. (even after saving and resetting)

I am using a600 37.350 rom to allow for 4gb support.

Also even if i get that far, how do i copy system.hdf to my bootable partition as i can't use dopus unless i'm on a 68020 processor (more than the capability of the 68000 a600)

Any help/suggestions from the relevant guru's??

Hi,

i think i'm fairly close to having installed cwb gaae for my a600 4gb cf, i'm working through winuae 2.3.3 as administrator.

I've partitioned the drive and done max transfer value etc but once i save the partitions and reboot, the partitions are not recognised for me to quick format - no icons appear on wb. If i go into wb box menu i can see my partitions there and if try to quick format this way it tells me there is no disk in dh1 (dh1 is what i called my first partition to help ready for copying system.hdf in dopus)

So i added extra memory - chipram and fastram and rebooted - no difference.

I'm using 37.350 rom with wb 2.1 release.

What am i doing wrong?

@Snoozy

Under WinUAE try preparing the HDD/CF with WB3.1 Install ADF using KS3.1, hopefully that will work for you - make sure you ticked the tab 'read/write' enable for the CF when you selected it as a HDD

@CritAnime

CWB 68k is aimed at KS3.1, therefore if you have KS3.1 that's the best one to use on a 68k Amiga but for KS2.05 it's the GAAE pack :)

hmm but i thought ks3.1 was for a1200 or a600 with ks 3.1 rom?

My a600 has ks 37.350 rom?

Is it possible to prepare the cf hd with wb 3.1 install and then use on an a600 (with 4 meg fastram) with ks 37.350 rom?

I think i've just about managed it with fitzsteve method, ie starting off in winuae as an a1200 with 3.1 rom + to partition the drive and then quitting winuae, reloading winuae as an a600 with a600hd rom and then adding more ram in winuae and then copying wbgaae via dopus to my first partition.

It boots ok in winuae on a600 setting, not tried in real a600 yet.

Thanks fitzsteve :)
