Hi!
The stuff in the Emergency-Boot-directory on the CD-ROM is NOT meant
to be copied on the disk. It is a *complete* AmigaOS 3.5 system which
can not fit unto a disk anymore provided the features it has.
Instead this thing is booted by an Emergency *Floppy Disk* that only
contains a few system files, a CD-ROM driver and maybe a RTG system.
This floppy disk is only for initiating the boot process from CD-ROM
and for providing the possibility for configuration and for having the
RTG system and settings of your choice which needs a media that can be
saved unto. And most Amigas are not capable of directly booting into a
CD-ROM anyway.
You can create this emergency floppy disk by an choice in the AmigaOS
3.5 installer script.
Unless otherwise stated, my posts represent my
personal opinions and not necessarily those of my employer.
Please email me personally only if really necessary. Use
"AmigaOS-Support: ..." or "AOS-Support: ..." as subject.
