AsimCDFS_Buffer assign oddity {solved}
« on: August 19, 2007, 06:03:09 AM »
Hmmm. I have installed AsimCDFS 3.9 on my A4000D os3.5 VT/Flyer 4.2. The CDRom is on the IDE chain. The AsimCDFS_Buffer is on the main IDE HD in DH1. A requester pops up asking to insert "AsimCDFS_Buffer in any drive." during the start of the system bootup halting the loading of WB.
The assign in user-startup was written by the install script. The buffer dir is indeed in DH1. I tried commenting out the assign in user-startup, but the requester still pops up upon boot. I even deleted the assign in user-startup and the buffer directory all together. Still...  

I had installed AsimCDFS on the system before installing the Flyer 4.2 software with no problems. Was tring to get the CDrom on the Flyer Drive chain to function, so I reinstalled AsimCDFS after the Flyer install. This is when the requester thing started happening.

anyone have any idea as to what's happening and how to fix? short of reinstalling everything.

The Mount command which mounts everything from devs:dosdrivers is run before the execution of user-startup. So if your CD0 needs that assign ,you should either move CD0 from Devs:Dosdrivers into WBStartup or you could move the Assign command from user-startup into startup-sequence just before the Mount command.

Bye,
Thomas

Little cleaner solution might be to move CD0 from devs:dosdrivers to sys:storage/dosdrivers and insert "mount cd0:" in user-startup after the assign.
