Note: For your boot partition you can use FFS or SFS, but many users choose SFS because it is faster than FFS, does not require long “validation” in the event of a disk error, and is more efficient compared to FFS. For now we will keep it simple and say that you will be either booting from FastFileSystem (with long file names) or SmartFileSystem. Included on the AmigaOS 4.1 Classic Installation Disc is an easy to read table outlining the various characteristics of each of the included file systems. For Example, there is FastFileSystem (DOS \ 03), FastFileSystem (DOS \ 07) – sometimes referred to as FastFileSystem 2, SmartFileSystem (SFS \ 00), SmartFileSystem 2 (SFS \ 02), etc.Įach of these “types” of file systems have different characteristics. Each of these file systems has different types. There are three different file systems that are included with AmigaOS 4.1: FastFileSystem, SmartFileSystem, and JXFS.
In order to boot from a hard disk you must have a RDB. Inside the RDB is file system information, partition layouts, boot priorities, etc. The Amiga will look for the Rigid Disk Block (RDB) at the beginning sectors of the drive. This is basically the “boot block” for the hard disk. After that, we’ll walk through the process of setting up your Hard Disk so it works with AmigaOS 4.1 Classic and boots properly. I’ve broken this article down into several categories to make it easier to read. I’m sure many of you are seasoned veterans of the Amiga and already know all of this, but it doesn’t hurt to have it written down clearly. There are a few things you should understand about how the Amiga handles hard disks. Hi everyone, as we move closer to the release of AmigaOS 4.1 Classic, I wanted to take some time to help you prepare, so I thought I would write this article about how to setup your Hard Disk so you are ready when your CD arrives in the mail!
