Select wisely (the default is what most people will want). More time will pass, and you will enter the installation script.įirst prompt is for language.

You may be familiar with this concept from Linux or some other UNIX. It contains the root filesystem used for AMIX installation script. In fact it just takes up RAM, so don't load it unless you want to run AmigaOS.Īfter boot has completed, you will be prompted to insert the root floppy. Note that if you have an Amiga that requires a superkick floppy you do not need to load kickstart before loading AMIX. Once the drive light goes out it may take a few seconds for the next prompt to appear, so don't be too concerned if nothing happens right away. Power the system on, and the floppy will begin to boot. If the installation script complains that it's not seeing any hard disks, check the SCSI address'. SCSI IDs: The SCSI addresses are critical, they are hard-coded into the installation and the script won't look anywhere else than SCSI4 for the install tape. You can leave empty space during partitioning if you want to install Workbench on the disk too. Do not attempt to use too big hard disk image, you are likely to run intro trouble! At least up to 4GB drives should work fine. Hard disks and partitions The minimum installation of AMIX 2.1 takes less than 70 MB of space, installing everything on the tape takes about 300 MB. This might be useful if you go to install a dual-booting system and want to add RAM that will work in Workbench side. Apparently you can add 32-bit memory to your config: AMIX will ignore it. RAM cards will not work since the kernel seems to map the memory address of the SCSI drive wrong with any more than 16 MB RAM. Memory: AMIX kernel is hard-coded to recognize only 4-16 megs of Fast RAM. This will be your hard disk drive to install on. Attach as SCSI6, Device name: DH0, Read/Write enabled, Enable RDB mode.

Add Hardfile → New hard disk image file → 450-900 MB → Create.
