Make bootdisk for Tandem IDE non autoboot - SOLVED!

[bitman]

I have installed a Compact Flash disk on a Tandem IDE controller in my Amiga 2000 - It works fine, when I load a workbench disk with the "AT"-driver in Expansions.....

But I want to make a bootdisk, that will boot the harddrive instead - have found the below startupsequence, - but that's not enough, since the AT-driver has not been read in, when the assigns are executed (the binddrivers line is added by me, but it dosn't help) - whats missing:

df0:c/binddrivers
df0:c/assign sys: Harddisk:
assign s: sys:s
assign l: sys:l
assign fonts: sys:fonts
assign devs: sys:devs
assign libs: sys:libs
execute s:startup-sequence
endcli

I think the problem is that the IDE controller is not reconised when the assigns happen

iirc, the binddrivers command looks in sys:expansions. So the best option is to copy the AT-driver to sys:expansions. (which is on your floppy, df0:expansions)

[bitman]

The AT-driver is already in df0:expansions

The icon, too? Binddrivers needs the icon because it contains the required vendor and product keys which identify the board to which the driver should be bound.

Edit: that said, it probably also needs icon.library and/or workbench.library to read the icon.

I think the icon is there (dopus usually selects that when copying), I'll try to see if the 2 libs you mention, will help.

Adding icon.library to libs, helped binddrivers start the disk. Then added the execute command to df0:/c

Last I added an assign to c, so the complete startup looks like this:

df0:c/binddrivers
df0:c/assign sys: Harddisk:
assign s: sys:s
assign l: sys:l
assign fonts: sys:fonts
assign devs: sys:devs
assign libs: sys:libs
assign c: sys:c
execute s:startup-sequence
endcli


Problem fixed!
