HOW TO: Create a boot floppy disk to load a bootable partition
Hi
I need your help, i would like to create a boot floppy disk in order to use it to boot a partition instead of entering everytime into early startup menu. (i have two boot partitions in my hard-drive, one with amiga os 4.1 and one with amiga os 3.9) i formatted a disk, installed the bootblock using diropus 4, everything was ok, then i created two directories inside my floppy disk, C and S. Inside S i created a txt file called startup-sequence, here the code of my startup-sequence: cd dh1: execute S/Startup-sequence Inside C i copied the following files: Assign CheckRTG Execute GetVolumDev GuessBootDev MonitorType Mount SetPatch I took these files from my amiga os 3.9 emergency-disk. What am i missing? |

Given that the destination partition is automatically mounted, you only need Assign in C, nothing else.
Startup-Sequence should look like this: Code:
Assign SYS: DH1: Assign C: SYS:C Assign Devs: SYS:Devs Assign Fonts: SYS:Fonts Assign L: SYS:L Assign Libs: SYS:Libs Assign S: SYS:S CD SYS: Execute S:Startup-Sequence Edit: actually you don't need C at all if you code Startup-Sequence like this: Code:
DH1:C/Assign SYS: DH1: SYS:C/Assign C: SYS:C Assign Devs: SYS:Devs Assign Fonts: SYS:Fonts Assign L: SYS:L Assign Libs: SYS:Libs Assign S: SYS:S CD SYS: Execute S:Startup-Sequence Last edited by thomas; 14 February 2012 at 17:02. |
