INSTALLING AMIGA OS 3.9 FROM HARD DRIVE INSTALL
install nSDPatch to your new OS installation.Install the filesystem on the boot block to enable it at boot.For a safer use of FFS, use the tool DISKSAFE from Aminet :.Note 2018 03 09 : After experimenting a lot, you should keep the first partition in FFS to be able to share your files with your linux system, and use “disksafe” from aminet for a safer FFS use SOME USEFULL SOFTWARES If you don’t, the entry won’t be validated.īefore a change on a partition can be taken in account, you must *reboot* your system. Note 2018 03 09 : After experimenting a lot, you should keep the first partition in FFS to be able to share your files with your linux system, like in those two articles : Install Amiga OS 3.1 for your real Amiga (1200) using FS-UAE on linux ubuntu access amiga FFS Hard Drive (or CF) under ubuntuĭon’t forget : each time you change a parameter inside HDInstTools, please, press “ENTER”.

The speed is better, there is no revalidation, and the defragmentation is included “on the go”, and you have a better Large HD support.ĪROS : will access the partitions natively in a more robust way than with FFS.Īnd I’ve made absolutely all the possible errors, so I want to share my experience. Last minute note : to avoid long validation, you can use the tool “disksafe”, that you can find on aminet. Other problem is the speed of this filesystem. This is not so annoying when it is a FD that is 880Kb big, but when it is a 3Gb partition…Īs I have backups of my files, what I did was to reformat the partition each time, and copy back the files (faster then waiting for the revalidation!). I’ve been more than once in front of the problem of partition validating for ages in cause of a crash when some writing was going.
