-
- INSTALL clears a floppy disk's or PCMCIA memory card's boot block area and
- writes a valid boot onto it. INSTALL does not affect any files or directories
- on the disk or card. The necessary files and directories must still be
- present on a device to boot from it successfully.
-
- The NOBOOT option removes the boot block from an AmigaDOS disk or card,
- making it not bootable.
-
- The CHECK option checks for valid boot code. It reports whether a disk or
- card is bootable and whether standard Commodore-Amiga boot code is present on
- the media. This is useful in detecting some viruses.
-
- The FFS switch is ignored. It remains part of the template to ensure
- compatibility with earlier scripts and programs.
