What is minimum config to boot with rapidroad usb enabled?

Thinking of installing os3.9 off a usb stick onto a scsi>cf card,having a rapidroad module on my A4000D/060, but what would the bootfloppy have to consist of so the usb shows up under a minimal config?

Check the PsdRomTag file. It is a shell script (readable text) which loads Poseidon into memory. The files it loads are the ones you need to copy to the floppy disk.

Ok, will check if it fits a floppy!
In the meantime, when you installed the Poseidon 4.5 distri for the Rapidroad and reboot, is a USB stick (FAT formatted) supposed to pop up as a normal drive inserted, or is there something extra to do to make it appear.
I finally got around installing it on OS 3.9 but it does absolutely nothing when I connect USB hardware on it

I tried running it but after rebooting, USB is disabled. Maybe it isn't compatible when you are using loadmodule and loadresident?

can we use Rapidroad on machines without MUI ? It mentions it needs to run the TRIDENT tool at least once, but that tool requires MUI and I do not have MUI. (and unlikely to have if using a floppy either)

Yes you can. We created a disk we use for testing.
It loads just the stuff needed to mount Mass Storage Devices.

Cool FOL, can you put that disk in the Zone so I can test it on my beast? (I got a Kryoflux so no probs transferring it to a real floppy)

+1 if you could share (as long as nothing there is copyrighted that would be awesome) Or if it uses any Workbench files then maybe just the startup-sequence and names/structure of files?
