Installing 3.9 and 4.1FE - please help!!

Hi.

This is my first post.

Im returning to the Amiga scene after a long absence since I (regretfully) sold my Eytech Towered A1200/030 50, 32mb, 2gb, DVD, Zip machine with ethernet, fast ide, etc. running 3.9.

I still have the OS 3.9 disc, and since (a little late) discovering that PPC support was available I've been itching to try OS4.1FE

but first I thought id install 3.9. I ISO'd the disc and set up, following the instructions below:

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=67429

I can boot workbench 3.1 fine and from the 3.9 iso create the emergency disk, but I'm finding that when I boot the emergency disk the amiga can no longer see the CD (see image)

so I gave up and bought OS 4.1 via Cloanto, downloaded the iso and tried that, using the os4 set up on FS-UAE and to my dismay that does the same!!

I'm using this: http://amigax1000.blogspot.co.uk/201...-uae-2529.html

I've mounted the image on my Mac and it seems fine and correctly labelled

I saw another post that suggested setting the config on the cyberstorm by pressing esc on boot but that doesn't work for me either, I can't get into the menu.

my config is as follows (for OS4):

# FS-UAE configuration saved by FS-UAE Launcher
# Last saved: 2016-06-30 19:07:21

[fs-uae]
amiga_model = A4000/OS4
cdrom_drive_0 = ClassicInstallCD-53.71.iso
cdrom_drive_count = 1
cpuboard_flash_file = cyberstormppc.rom
floppy_drive_0 = BootFloppy.adf
floppy_image_0 = BootFloppy.adf
hard_drive_0 = AmigaOS41.hdf
joystick_port_0 = Mouse: Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)
kickstart_ext_file = cyberstormppc.rom
kickstart_file = kick310.rom

My machine is a 2010 quad i7 iMac with 12gb ram.

can anyone assist? Im starting to lose my mind!

Thanks

still no answer here, hmm. I can only *bump* your posting.
a new install guide for 4.1 by headkase you can find here - but it is for winuae. maybe you find some hints there.

For AmigaOS 4.1, simplify your config to:

[fs-uae]
amiga_model = A4000/OS4
cdrom_drive_0 = ClassicInstallCD-53.71.iso
floppy_drive_0 = BootFloppy.adf
floppy_image_0 = BootFloppy.adf
hard_drive_0 = AmigaOS41.hdf

(If the 3.1 kickstart is not automatically found, then it is not the correct one, which may cause issues)

Depending on the .hdf, you may also need to add:

hard_drive_0_type = rdb

Yay! It works! Thanks. I copied the config but it still didn't work, but removing the references to the roms fixed it. I never would have thought of that.

This hasn't fixed the OS 3.9 installation issue, but I am now able to play with OS 4.1 for the first time.

Thanks again.
