Amiga 500 with KC 1.3 and boot from hard disk
By default, the Amiga 500 emulation with KC 1.3 (v34.5) in Amiga Forever boots from floppy with no hard drive. I Googled how to install Workbench 1.3 and boot from a hard drive and many answers I found were like "just copy the Workbench floppy content to disk", which gave me the impression that it is super easy and a commonly known procedure that only idiots like me asking those questions… but at the same time some articles mention that A500 Kickstart 1.3 has no hard disk support and needs to be patched…
What I did:
Despite both errors, it works, but clearly, there are some issues… I would like to learn and understand what the problem is and fix those issues. I will appreciate it if anyone can help me. Thanks a lot STeN Here are screenshots I have made (also attached as a file to this thread): |

That seems like way too many cylinders for 100M... Something is wrong, which is why that key is out of range.

I never tried with AF but usually you have to partition your HD with an HDToolbox like program and I don't see this step in your description.
By the way formatting an HD under KS/OS 1.3 is really slow. If you can, format it under KS/OS 3+ and then switch back to KS/OS 1.3 for the installation. |

HDInstallTools works well on KS 1.3. I used it to install a bootable 1.3 OS on my real CDTV Jaz drive.

Thanks for trying to help anyway. I am not sure I am doing something wrong - it seems all steps are pretty intuitive... or is it AF? Regards, STeN |

I followed this guide to patch KS 1.3 and succeeded (this also boots WB 1.3 on a real A600):

@8bitsten : I think you missed the chapter 2.19 of the documentation that is provided inside the lha archive. Give it a look, it will help you
