IDE to SATA
I have a small SSD and want to use it in my Amiga 1200 so i bought an cheap adaptor .
Made a special floppy with the scsi.device for big hdds. I can format every thing an make partitions ect. Now the problem the SSD only boots when i first load this floppy and reset. When i just turn My Amiga on i get the boot screen and a extra reset didn't work to. |

When i started my Amiga for the first time and look at the bootmenu here was no HDD
But after loading the floppy and a reset it did boot. |

It sounds like the drive is not ready to boot as quickly as the Amiga on first boot. If you wait a little and soft reset does it boot or show up in the early boot menu?

The boot partition has to be less than 2gb and on the first 2gb of the drive to boot with kickstart v3.1

Or change 2GB to 7,8GB if you're using PFS3AIO

Interesting. Any file system which uses DirectSCSI has a boot partition size/location limit of 7.8GiB... never knew that... cool.

It is only guaranteed when using A600/A1200/A4000 built-in IDE (scsi.device) driver. Other IDE controllers can and will have other limits.
