AFAIK the Amiga cannot directly boot off the CD-Rom (it was just a matter of time then, maybe OS 3.2 would have had that possibility...). You'll have to make a minimal workbench disk and put the cd-rom fs and device driver on it. Then you can launch the install process via cd. If you need gfx-board boot/install, you'd better make a small Amiga partition on the SCSI and install a workbench on it with cd-rom drivers and gfx-board libraries. Regards, Emiliano
