mount device at startup
« on: July 17, 2003, 09:38:56 AM »
Sorry for this lame question but it was a long time since I used Workbench, or atleast changed something in it;)

I want to mount PC0: at startup! Should I add the line mount pc0: to startup-sequence or user-startup? If startup-sequence, should I put it in a particular place in the file. I mean are there any particular commands that must be loaded before that line..

Btw, I use Workbench 3.1.

You can move the PC0 icon from Storage/DosDrivers to Devs/DosDrivers. Devices in Devs/DosDrivers are mounted automatically at startup.

Another possibility is to move it to WBStartup. Programs in WBStartup are started automatically when Workbench is loaded.

And the last possibility is what you mentioned: add the mount command to user-startup.

Startup-sequence should be considered a black box that may not be changed by the user.

Bye,
Thomas

If you go for the user-startup option, the line you'd need would be:

mount SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers/PC0

But as Thomas said the easiest way is moving it to DEVS/DOSDrivers

If the files are in their correct places under sys:storage/dosdrivers, you can just say

mount pc0:

and it works.
