I've just written the following to make the instructions better. I've not updated the archive yet, but will include them with the next update.


1. Prepare drive for installation with "HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool" in
"0.prepare drive" folder.

2. Make the drive bootable with syslinux in "1.install syslinux

In cmd with admin privilages run

syslinux.exe -m -a X:

replacing X with the drive letter of your media.
This will install suitable MBR code into your flash
drive and mark the partition on it as active.

3. Copy all of the files in "2. copy to destination drive" to the
staorage device your using.

4. File Paths.

/configs Configuration files
/cd-roms for .iso files
/floppies for .adf floppy images
/harddirs directoory storage (Workbench/Work/WHDload)
/hardfiles for .hdf files
/roms kickstart rom's

Files in the configs directory, can be edited when the system is running, but wont
take affect unless the system is rebooted.

"host-props" contains the default fs-uae config to load (amiga-1200)
"amiga*.fs-uae" the fs-uae config files.
"vswm.cfg" WiFi wireless settings.

5. Once booted into linux and the FS-uae system, the usb drive is mounted
on path "/amiga" on the linux side, and won't appear in FS-UAE.

6. To mount a Real Amiga hard drive or Partition:
Add these options to your .fs-uae config file.

To find the HD name follow these steps.

Once the system is booted, press the Ctrl-Alt-F1 keys all at once.
This will switch you to the console. Login as the user "root" with password
of "root". Then issue the following command:

dmesg |grep sd

Take a note of the drive number, all of the hd's will be listed.
Then follow these steps.

Change your *.fs-uae config file as required. Reboot the system with
"shutdown -r now", once fs-uae has rebooted, you will then have access
to a amiga formated drive.

If doing a new install, you need to change the tooltype of HDToolbox
for the SCSI_DEVICE_NAME to "uaehf.device.

# Full drive
hard_drive_1_controller = uaehf.device
hard_drive_1_type = rdb
hard_drive_1 = /dev/sdb

# Partition number two on first hd
hard_drive_2_controller = uaehf.device
hard_drive_2_type = rdb
hard_drive_2 = /dev/sdb2

7. WiFi confiuration. Enter your wifi details in the file

vswm.cfg
