JG >>I just need some sort of booting commands.<< If the HD's "Workbench 3.0" partition has all the Wb software (libs, devices, commands, etc.), you just need to set the boot flag. Assuming everything is intalled on the HD. – Open the HD's ICON. – Open the Tools drawer. – Open (run) the HDToolBox program. – Click on the PARTITION DRIVE button. – Make sure the DH0 (Workbench 3.0) partition is selected – Click on the BOOTABLE button. – click on the OK button – Then click on the SAVE CHANGES TO DRIVE button. – Wait a few seconds, for the save to finish. – reset the A1200, without a disk in the floppy. The DH0 partition should be booted from even if partition is empty. Note that the RAD: (RAM_0:) which survives resets, has a higher priority than the DH0 or floppy, and will be booted from if mounted. Make sure the RAD isn't in the DEVS:DOSDRIVERS, it can affect the booting if it is set to be bootable.
