- Sounds like you need the SSBOOTFILE.lHA cant remember the name of the
- site to get it from,but I am sure someone knows out there.
- The process of installing the System disks is...
-
- Copy all the system .hqx file to your amiga (I chopped the files onto
- 720 disks from my dads PC & then joined them on my AMIGA)
- Get the file ssbootfile.lha & uncompress it.
-
- Run shapeshifter choose the SSbootfile in the filedisk 1 settings & make
- a filedisk2 of at least 30MB & click OK.
-
- SS will now load.
-
- Now Flip over to your workbench screen (using AMIGA-M) run the Program
- in the machandler directory(MAC) make sure you copied the machandler
- file to L: (you may need to change the settings in the icon to UNIT=2,
- this will mount a handler on your newly created filedisk2).
-
- This mounts a device handler beetween your amiga side and mac side.
- Copy all the .HQX files to your MAC through the machandler(on your
- workbench side)
- Then use MOUNT-IMAGE to mount all the .HQX files.
- Now Install the system software on filedisk2 and reboot.
- When SS load again choose your filedisk2 as boot disk
- SS will start of your filedisk.
