How to get rid of AmigaDOS popup at boot up?- Solved

I get an AmigaDOS popup telling me to "insert volume System in any drive..Process:59 Background CLI"? at each bootup....I assign to my Sys folder and all fine BUT how do I go about fixing the AmigaDOS popup permanently??

Rename workbench to system, maybe..

Maybe you have assign or softlink, that points to system:

i belive there is interactive boot mode, where you must confirm etch command line.read the manual or try to google it.

If not you need put echo before bla bla, echo after bla bla.

Search your startup-sequence and user-startup to find something that tries to run from the System: partition. If you find it, change it to what you have now.
If this is not the case, check the WBStartup prefs to see if any of the programs tries to run from system. If so remove it and add it again from the right partition.
If you use AmiDock or any other dock, check if any of the entries are looking for System partition. If yes change it.

Have a look at the last line of your User-Startup 😉

While I'm not getting it at bootup I've found my Workbench has attached a volume to itself it won't let go. I had a plugged in an OS4 disk via USB and and read files from the contents. Somehow it has memorised my Transfers1 volume and won't let it go! Now every time I run RunnInUAE it keeps asking for Transfers! UAE has no mention of it in config files. So something in your OS4 system has attached a System volume from somewhere. It may not be found easily and could be hidden in any system data or text file.

thanks that was the issue afterall

fyi, issue was this line in my user-startup:
Run >NIL: *>NIL: System:Prefs/Power QUIET

just had to replace 'System" with my boot name..mind you if the installer would have just put Sys instead there would have been no issue

@Hypex

search for a "floppies" soft link in the e-uae directory used by RunInUAE, it might be what is causing it.

Quote:You probably should follow that good advice yourself, i.e. refer to SYS: instead of your specific boot volume name in your User-Startup (since you went in and fixed it anyway).

But I'm wondering about another thing: Was it really an installer that created that line in User-Startup? I'm guessing you are referring to the Enhancer installer, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't put anything into User-Startup about Power Prefs. Maybe you have put that line in yourself, taken from a thread on one of the forums (maybe a year or two ago?) where it was discussed? And maybe someone in that thread made the mistake of writing System: because that was what his boot volume was called? And then you just copied the line?

Just a theory, of course.

@nbache

could be as I've forgotten more things than I remeber lately

@Amigo1

Thanks! That was it. It didn't show up doing a usual search so had the find the file manually.
