#Bridgeboard problem
2 messages in this thread
I just recevied my new 386 bridgeboard and have already run into
difficutly. Everything seems OK during the AmigaJanus setup, but when I
boot with disk 1 of MS-DOS to begin its installation, the FDISK program
does not recognize my "DriveC" and only offers installation to floppies as
an option. How do I get MS-DOS to recognize my virtual drive on my
hard-drive? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Dan,
Some possibilities are: If you have an accelerator you must run either
"Enforcer Quiet" or "CPU nodatacache" BEFORE executing Binddrivers. Failure to
do that will usually result in the BB not seeing the virtual drive. A second
possibility is to check in PCPrefs to be sure you have the Janus memory segment
set to D000. One or both of these can cause the problem you have.
You might also check in the PC directory where Janus was installed on
your Amiga and check to be sure that none of the files have names with leading
blanks. In the installation files which had names similar to those of the old
Janus get named with leading blanks. Thus, the may not execute properly during
the bridgeboard setup.
Lastly, when you boot the BB from floppy, run BBSetup and be sure you
have your CMOS settings correct. The two entries for Hard Disk 1 and 2 should
be set to NONE.
