Install AmigaOS 3.1 in Real Amiga HD or CF
 

Hi all, I've been trying to install a Workbench 3.1 in an 60Gb HD or in a 2Gb CF Card.

I've installed the HD in the A1200 (rev. 1D4), succesfully made a 1Gb Partition and a 2Gb Partition just to make things running.

I have been unsuccesfull with the CF card, tryed all the tutorials in the internet, and it won't boot from the CF card. When I try to do the same with the HD, in WinUAE it gives me access denied.

So after all of this, as I'm a mac user, i wanted to see if this is doable through FS-UAE. If it goes right I would manage to do a step-by-step tutorial for future reference for Amiga-Mac users.

So My question for now I guess is ... how to get FS-UAE to read the external CF card. I mean ... it reads it, but shouldn't I run admnistrative privileges or something?

Thank you,

P.S.: After a few hours of being On, it reboots with a Guru Meditation - Software Failure, and after that every 10m or so it reboots with the error. Anyone know by chance what could be wrong? Caps?

Let's see what I come up with :D

Update v02:

will try this:

Well, in my case I got the following info from OSX:

Step 01 .... Edited the FS-UAE config file:
Step 02 .... Terminal command for r/w:
Step 03 .... Fire up FS-UAE:

So it runs Install Workbench 3.1 and it sees the CFcard

Next, I've runned "Get Information" from HDToolBox:

.... should I change the scsi for uaehf ?

After this, it is still not seen in HDToolBox

Hi, you probably want to use /dev/disk3 (the entire disk) instead of /dev/disk3s1 (a single partition)...

(You must also likely make sure none of the partitions are mounted/used by OS X...)

Yes, you should use uaehf.device!

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention: while the CF-card is not already partitioned for Amiga (which I assume it isn't, since a "Mac-compatible" volume shows up on your computer), you'll also need to use: hard_drive_0_type = rdb

If the hard disk / CF-card is already formatted, this option is not needed since FS-UAE will auto-detect the RDSK header.

I could remember, that in MAC OS X partitioned hard disks doesn't work "out of the box" in FS-UAE. In past I must setup the disk in Windows with "diskpart" to delete every partition on it.

Wow - your screenshots appear VERY smooth in terms of the text and image quality! What plugins did you enable to get this i.e. what is your graphics options!?

yes the screenshots are very impressive, I like the shade, the colors and the round edges... it feels like it is flying... ;-)

@csxlab: any progress on your booting problem ?

Ok, I'm going to try it, later I found alreadt that I should use the full disk, let me see what I can get.

Hi, I used mac osx screen grabber, just use the combination keys shift+cmd+4 and when the air pin to select area appears, just click space bar and select the window you want to screen grab :)

Was a long weekend, I'm going to try now, lost some time in winuae preparing a classic workbench in an HD .... looks nice but in a 2mb amiga is always out of memory hehe

As anybody asks, (offtopic) how can I post such wonderful images like you do?
