#FFS THANK YOU ALL!
3 messages in this thread
I know that thank you's are not suppose to take up valuable space but so many
people helped me set up a SSCI 20 meg with the 1.3 FFS that I wanted you people
to know that you really beat PL**K this time!
Thanks! The PL**K people didn't even bother to answer! I was starting to
get a complex!
THANKS! This forum is worth it!
If anyone has trouble with the SSCI FFS, let em talk to me! I think I
got it now!
Now if only awrite, aread & RAD: would work as well :-(!

Ha! I knew you had a mountlist error. Incidentially, with SCSI drives it is not
good to extend any partition to the drive's max rated cylinder. When the SCSI
drive starts sparing blocks it needs someplace to put them. This reduces the
total number of blocks available to the Amiga hard disk controller. So leave a
few extra cylinders unused. This will greatly reduce SCSI headaches in the
future.
Incidentially, RAD: will mount without error but not exist anywhere if you
happen to name a disk partition RAD:!
You can test to see if you have some sort of hardware error with RAD: by
booting from a stock 1.3 Workbench disk and manually mounting RAD:. If it
exists then take heart, you've only got some sort of software configuration
error. I'd then reboot with your hard disk boot floppy and see if RAD:
survived.
I also have mounted RAD: without a ramdrive.device in my devs directory and it
strangely mounted without error, but didn't exist anywhere. I never got the
'handler missingI^@you said you received.
It is permissible to modify your mountlist such that the device =
ramdrive.device is changed to device = dh2:devs/ramdrive.device. If this works,
then at the time you mount RAD: you do not have devs: assigned to dh2:devs.
