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.
