Hello,
RE: Making the Emergancy disk.
Wehn I got my Power-Tower in, it had a Hard drive with OS 3.1 on it.
Since I was gonna repartition the whole thing I did a bare bones
install of 3.5. (No Picasso96, ect.) I wanted to have an Install disk
available for those in our group who bought the CD and wanted a
completely new installation. I installed the CacheCDFS system for the
CD-ROM driver and all I have to do is edit the mount file for the
proper xxx.device. Anyhow the direstory for this disk is:
-8<----
C (dir)
Assign CheckRTG
GetVolumeDev GuessBootDev
Monitortype mount
RemLibrary SetPatch
Devs (dir)
DOSDrivers (dir)
EMERGENCY_CD EMERGENCY_CD.info
AmigaOS ROM Update DOSDrivers.info
NSDPatch.cfg
L (dir)
CacheCDFS FastFileSystem
Libs (dir)
68040.library
Prefs (dir)
Env-Archive (dir)
Sys (dir)
def_CD0.info def_CD1.info
def_CD2.info def_CD3.info
def_CD4.info def_CD5.info
def_CD6.info def_DF0.info
def_DF1.info def_DF2.info
def_disk.info def_drawer.info
def_PC0.info def_project.info
def_ram.info def_tool.info
def_trashcan.info def_ZIP.info
reaction.prefs Screenmode.prefs
wbpattern.prefs workbench.prefs
S (dir)
Startup-Sequence
HDToolBox.info
-8<----
There is a directory on the OS 3.5 CD (CD0:OS-3.5/Emergency-Disk/)
that has the proper Startup-Sequence. CD0: got copied over as
EMERGENCY_CD. If you wish I can send my Mount file.
Another alternative is someone posted an Emergency disk on Aminet with
instructions of what files to copy over to it so it'd work. It's at:
/util/boot/Startup35.lha
Or just use the Aminet search and type OS 3.5.
Regards
Mark
