So did the installer actually display under AGA? If so I'll whip out the BVision and try to boot OS4.

I'm pretty sure that as an experiment I removed my GFX card and the installer displayed AGA no problem. IIRC the installer looks for supported GFX cards and displays in 800 x 600 for you :-)

Great, I'll give it a try then.

Hmm, 800x600 should display on the VGA monitor I'm using. I hope the CVPPC isn't dead :-(

i'm confused now! we are still speaking about an A1200?

and re-reading your posts i'm more confufed now.

Have you installed the FFS dundled with the OS4 CD (68K) onto the RDB with dostype DOS/7 (support for longfilenames)? or better SFS?

Sorry, typo. It's an A1200 with a BPPC and a BVision.

No. I'm not trying to install the OS yet. I just want to get to the installer for now, so I dumped the contents of the CD on to an FFS partition so I don't have to boot from the CD (because I have been told above that the 4-way IDE interface might be causing the booting problems and I have no way of connecting a 40-way device (i.e. the CD-ROM) directly to the Amiga)

yes ok but the OS4 partition, have some very long filenames that if you used an old FFS, will be truncated.

Fonts directory, for example

Hmm, ok. I wonder whether that would stop it booting? Or let it get a certain way in to booting and then stop but not give an error saying that it can't find a file?

Will the version of FFS provided with OS4 work under OS3.1? If so, where do I find it on the CD to install it on the drive under UAE before copying over the contents of the CD?

is in OS4CD:System/L/ (v51.10)

but why dont setup a 500MB 68k SFS partition instead? dump all the CD content and then do what you need to do (not sure how, anyway)

Good idea. I'll try that.

installing from the HD mirrored CD.

You have to tweak a lot. Good luck :-)

Really? It seemed to find the files on the HDD without any changes (the partition was called "AmigaOS 4.0 Install CD").

The volume name of the CD of my copy of OS4 is "AmigaOS 4.0 Install CD". If I boot from the floppy without the CD inserted it asks me to insert a volume with that name.

ok, the one i posted is a mirror of the whole AOS4 CD onto my HD (Vuoto:)

So you will use the Start_From_OS3.x script?
