Mount CD on fs-uae OSX to install OS3.9
hi there,
i want to try an OS3.9 install (finally got my copy) in fs-uae, OS-X ppc version... the problem is, the inserted cd-rom is not found (it´s inserted and spinning..) how to config this? Or is there a way to do this with an image of the CD? Did someone managed a OS3.9 install under fs-uae already and can share a config/hints?! Code:
[config] amiga_model = A1200/020 chip_memory = 2048 zorro_iii_memory = 32768 fast_memory = 0 kickstart_file = amiga-os-310.rom uaegfx.card = 1 uae_gfxcard_size = 32 hard_drive_0 = Hardfiles/AmigaSYS.hdf hard_drive_1 = Hardfiles/Work hard_drive_2 = Mac cdrom_drive_count = 1 cdrom_image_0 = /dev/disk3 floppy_drive_volume = 0 "AmigaSYS.hdf" is just there, because i don´t know how to creat an empty .hdf on osx and it´s a kind of "installer" for OS3.9 included... which asks for the cd-rom, but i can´t find a way to "feed" Last edited by elowan; 12 January 2013 at 18:15. |

Real CDROM support is missing in FS-UAE. You should mount your CDROM as ISO image as described here:

So - how do i install Amiga OS3.9 from scratch? I mean without a pre-created .hdf file?
I´ve found a guide, but it´s for Win-UAE... so, how to do this in fs-uae? Any clues?! |

I cannot comment on that guide since you didn't post a link..
But in order to create an empty "hard drive", you can just create an empty file with a given size: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=848439&postcount=19 and then use: Code:
hard_drive_0 = /path/to/harddrivefile hard_drive_0_type = rdb Code:

Oh, sry
This guide here (english version): http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/os39uae.html The .hdf hint worked !! Right now i let Amiga format a new hdd I guess, the main problem will in 8. and 9.: 7. click on Add Directory, choose the destination directory (C:\Program Files\WinUAE\OS39) as path and a volume label as you like (e.g. Workbench). 8.click on Add Directory again and select your CD-ROM drive as path. Make sure that you remove the trailing backslash from the path, i.e. use "D:" and not "D:\". Use "AmigaOS3.9" as volume label. It is important that you use exactly this volume label ! 9.click on Add Directory a third time and choose the path D:\OS-VERSION3.9\EMERGENCY-DISK, volume label as you like (e.g. Boot) and set the boot priority to 1. How to do this "translate" this to fs-uae (Mac os-x)? How to assign just a "drive-letter" (8.), and a directory (9), if a cd-rom is just a image (.iso)!? Guess it won´t work then?!

Actually, step 8 / 9 seems very straightforward, this guide doesn't use the CD as an CD, it just says to mount the content from the CD as virtual drives.
So you mount the real CD on your computer, say it's mounted at /media/AmigaOS3.9 in your Mac. Something like this then: Code:
hard_drive_0 = /media/OS-VERSION3.9/EMERGENCY-DISK hard_drive_0_label = Boot hard_drive_1 = /Users/you/OS39 hard_drive_1_label = Workbench hard_drive_2 = /media/AmigaOS3.9 hard_drive_2_label = AmigaOS3.9 EDIT: I here translated the steps from the guide, and did not take into account using a HDF instead of directory/virtual drive. You can probably replace hard_drive_1 with the HDF... |

Code:
hard_drive_0 = /dev/disk3/OS-VERSION3.9/EMERGENCY-DISK hard_drive_1 = Hardfiles/OS39.hdf hard_drive_2 = /dev/disk3/AmigaOS3.9 Last edited by elowan; 12 January 2013 at 20:41. |

But this guide specifically uses the real CD-ROM device via uaescsi.device (further down), so this won't work with FS-UAE. OS3.9 can probably still be installed but not by following this guide to the letter... |

Uhm, i see...
Code:
cdrom_drive_count = 1 cdrom_image_0 = AmigaOS39.iso hard_drive_0 = Hardfiles/OS39.hdf hard_drive_1 = Mac floppy_drive_volume = 0 floppy_image_0 = Floppy/Notfall Disk.adf Last edited by elowan; 12 January 2013 at 20:49. |

Perhaps this guide is more suited to FS-UAE, as the steps should be easily translated from WinUAE to FS-UAE (the AmigaOS CD is not directly used on this guide): http://elite79.tripod.com/os39uae/

@elowan
You can mount the CDROM as HardDrive as follow: Code:
hard_drive_0 = /Volumes/NAME_OF_CDROM_IN_MACOSX But the ISO thing is the better way. My config looks like this: Code:
# FS-UAE configuration saved by FS-UAE Launcher # Last saved: 2012-12-18 16:59:30 # Created by Jens Weichert 2013 [fs-uae] accuracy = 0 amiga_model = A4000/040 bsdsocket_library = 1 cdrom_drive_count = 1 cdrom_image_0 = /Volumes/Media/Amiga/AmigaOS3.9.iso floppy_drive_count = 1 floppy_image_0 = $HOME/Documents/FS-UAE/Floppies/notfall.adf hard_drive_0 = /dev/disk2 hard_drive_0_controller = ide0 hard_drive_0_type = rdb sub_title = Amiga Technologies Amiga OS 3.9 title = Amiga OS 3.9 uae_cachesize = 8192 uaegfx_card = 1 zorro_iii_memory = 524288 fullscreen = 1 hard_drive_0_controller = ide0 means, that the A1200 IDE controller emulation is used. You can use scsi.device instead of uaehf.device. hard_drive_0_type = rdb means, that you use your hard file as complete hard disk. In this case you can partition this drive as Frode wrote above. hard_drive_0 = /dev/disk2 means, that I use a real block device as hard file. For me I have a SD-Card reader with a 2GB SD-Card as hard disk. How you configure this you can read at http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=67082 To start the AmigaOS 3.9 installation you can boot with a Amiga OS 3.1 Install Disk and make a "Emergency Floppy". After that insert this Emergency Floppy and start the emulation. Last edited by nexusle; 13 January 2013 at 22:50. |

Hi, I tried installing OS 3.9, and it's really not that difficult. These guides on the web makes it seem more difficult than it really is. -And the installation is not required to be run from an actual CD, whether it's a real CD or CD image.
So here are some high-level instructions written from memory (this is not the only way): Part A: Preparation Create a directory somewhere on your computer called AmigaOS3.9 and copy everything from the AmigaOS installation to this directory. Create an ADF file to contain the rescue / installation floppy. You can just make a copy of any existing floppy (the contents will be overwritten anyway) and call it for example rescue.adf. Part A: Create an OS 3.9 installation / rescue floppy Use the following media: - floppy drive 0: workbench boot disk - floppy drive 1: the rescue adf. - hard drive 0: path to AmigaOS3.9 directory (where you copied the installation). You let the system boot from the WB disk, run the installer from the AmigaOS3.9 volume and create a boot/rescue install disk (whatever it was called) and choose to create the floppy in drive DF1: After this is done you can shut down FS-UAE. Part B: Install OS 3.9 Use the following media: - floppy drive 0: the rescue adf (you will boot from this) - hard drive 0: the drive you want to install to (HDF or directory, your choice). - hard drive 1: path to AmigaOS3.9 directory (where you copied the installation). When you start FS-UAE, you'll boot into workbench, and you can once again start the installer from the AmigaOS3.9 volume. This time you choose full install. -Assuming hard drive 0 contains the volume you want to install to, for example Workbench, you simply select this when the installer asks you where to install to. With these instructions you don't use the CD directly, so no cdrom_image_0 or hard_drive_x pointing to /dev/disk... -But see Toni's warning later down. Alternatively, if you create an ISO image of the CD somehow, you can use this image with cdrom_drive_0 instead. Last edited by FrodeSolheim; 14 January 2013 at 19:42. Reason: fixed typo (directory = directly) |

This is part of the AmigaOS 3.9 Installer. You should boot with 3.1 Install and inserted AmigaOS 3.9 CDROM.
Believe me. The way with the CDROM mount as hard drive isn't the betterway. You should mount the AmigaOS 3.9 CDROM as ISO image! |

Hi, you must also post your config so we can see what you have configured (or FS-UAE.log, which contains the config + info about what happens while running..).
