Mounting a CD under 3.1 to install 3.9...

[blakespot]

I have got a Blizzard A1260 with SCSI module setup.  I have 3.1 installed on a SCSI HD conneted to it.  The Amiga sees all SCSI devices on the chain.  I want to mount the SCSI drive so I can install 3.9.  The disks that I have with this accelerator don't have a clear path to getting the SCSI CD-ROM recognized.  

Can someone help me here?  Would be great to get this sysetm up today.

You need to get a CDFS and install it. I recomend AmiCDFS to get you started, then you can install the default 3.9 Cd file system once you have it off the CD.

IIRC, 3.1 includes a very, very basic CDFS.  It works to install 3.9 (or 3.5 for that matter), but I wouldn't use it for anything else.

It should be in workbench:storage/devs

Just edit the information, changing the device line to match the Blizzard.

AFAIK AsimCDFS is freeware and probably on Aminet (I have it on a PD disk somewhere....)

Asim is good, but its not freeware. I think there is a demo of it on Aminet. I wouldnt use it though. I have it, its out dated and will stay the default CDFS if you install 3.9 and it hard to get it all removed and have the 3.9 CDFS working properly.
