- I have an A2286 bridgeboard in an A2500/030 that I'm trying to use PCdisk91b.lha with to make
- a 197MB partition on a 1gig drive.
-
- I have this partition already formatted for AmigaDOS, and I followed the installation docs for
- PCD: and IBM:, but nothing seems to work. Actually, my A2286 has trouble finding my fake_c
- (makeab) sometimes.. but anyway..
-
- So, it doesn't seem to work. I boot the PC on an MS-DOS disk, and the PCD: setting in
- aboot.ctrl doesn't do anything. Drive doesn't even flash once, and FDISK doesn't see any fixed
- disks.
-
- I double checked my installation, and according to the docs, I should be fine.
-
- Any help here? Is the fact that the partition is already mounted as an AmigaDOS partition
- causing this thing to choke? Or maybe is it the touchy nature of aboot.ctrl..
-
- Any response or experience with this is appreciated. I'm tired of filedisks!
-
- Thanks!
