A600: Boot from PCMCIA-Flash-Disk

Hi,

i own a A600 (37.350) now and would like to boot from the PCMCIA-Flash-Disk.

The card is empty (beside some .adf-files *G*) now... what do i have to copy on it to make it a bootable thing?

Thanks,
1988

You cannot boot from it, there are no drivers in the Kickstart ROM to allow boot from PCMCIA.

You can only boot from internal IDE hard drive or floppy disk.

After booting you can load drivers for PCMCIA. The drivers you need are CFD and the filesystem is called FAT95 (assuming you want to format your card for use with Amiga and PC) both are available on Aminet.
