SD and IDE slices probblem about romwbw

[wwarthen]

Hi Nick,

How did you create your media? Did you put one of the pre-built disk images on it? Which slice did you boot from?

When you boot from a disk unit/slice, that selected unit/slice is automatically mapped to A:. So, you should see whatever files were on that unit/slice. If there were no files there, then you would see an empty directory. Pay attention to the list of disk units/slices displayed.

Thanks,

Wayne

I use the syscopied image of the rom on C: (slice 0 I think). Booting with the z command and I get on C: the directory as expected.
Booting from slice 0 directly, it boots but everything is empty.
This is what I see after booting from slice 0:

Hi Nick,

Doesn't make any sense. Can you send me the entire log of both sessions? The one where you boot with 'Z' and the one where you boot from a specific unit/slice?

Thanks,

Booting from slice 0:

Hi Nick,

OK, this helps. It appears that Unit 2, Slice 0 contains CBIOS v2.9.2-pre.1. This CBIOS version is older than the one in your ROM which looks like it is v2.9.2-pre.33. You will need to use SYSCOPY to update the system tracks on Unit 2, Slice 0.

If you boot from ROM using 'Z', confirm that IDE0:0 is mapped to C:, then use the following command:

B>SYSCOPY C:=ZSYS.SYS

After this, reboot and try booting from Unit 2, Slice 0.

Thanks,

Wayne

Thanks Wayne, this helps. A: is now mapped to my ide disk as expected.

Excellent.

I am going to go ahead and close this issue.
