Problems installing OS4.1

Hi,

If I boot from the cd I get the insert floppy disk animation after a while. What I did before starting it is delete all partitions. Could it be that it happens because if this? Or is it my old cd drive? Before I get the animation I quickly see the OS4.1 picture.

Cheers,

Are you sure AOS4 is loading kickstart from CD?
If you use OS4 CD it should show you the Workbench and then install/welcome window to partition/format/install to your HDD.
Maybe you can check the uboot vars.
Or system is loading from other (hidden) partition/volume in your HDD.

If you do warm reboot after you have formatted your hard drive, the kernel will be in memory when you warm reboot, the RDB and SLB_V2 will remain on disk, and kernel modules might be loaded from any media on a cold boot, only when is replace the boot sector whit MBR or wipe it will be lost, it does not matter, if you end up on empty portion when trying to boot from CD, then you have set boot priority wrong one of your partitions, you can select boot media by pressing Scroll Lock or right and left mouse buttons to enter the old kickstart boot menu.

You can also set the boot device in UBOOT, before typing boota.

It was the optical drive. I also got some issues at one point when I booted from the optical drive so I swapped it with the one from my wife's computer and that worked just fine. I just finished the installation and sadly I have to get some sleep since I have to get up early for work. At least I am going to have a great weekend.
