PFS3 and GVP a530

[Laine]

can you install PFS3aio on a GVP a530 on a zuluscsi HDx.hda image?
booting from the GVP install disk and creating partition seems to work with FFS

booting from a 3.2 install disk add the PFS file system create the partition it doesn't boot

not sure if I'm missing something or just can't be done

I can update FFS from the 3.2 disk fine just can't do PFS

looking online lots of old info not sure what's right

pfs3 the origina commerciall version I'm sure it works fine
but pfs3aio I don't know, just ask Tony

It should work just fine. You should only use the 3.2 hdtoolbox in this case, don't mix with faaastprep.

Remember to match the dostype for all partitions and the filesystem itself that you install with the add/update-button.

Remember to press return after filling in any string gadgets.

thank-you Jope,

I had watched a couple videos of people using the zulu with GVP scsi device, it made it sound like it was a must to use the GVP faastprep to create paritions first.

So in WinUAE I made two HD files and selected the PFS when I created them, put them on to my SD card use 3.2's HDToolboix to create partitions, then put the SD card into the Zuluscsi and booted the Amiga with a 3.2 install disk.

My HD files I create showed up fine and I was able to format them (got the PFS quick format screen)

Installed the OS fine, I went down the wrong path with the Info I got from the Videos.

Thanks again
Laine

Side note, as I was looking at bluescsi information, the jumper cn18 changes the default 7 MHz to 14 MHz doubles the speed test in sysinfo from 1meg to 2meg
