[comp.sys.amiga.tech] A2060a blues...

  Hi, it's me again. Thanks for the response to my previous
message. Everyone said, pull out the two autoboot eproms, and I
did, and the computer booted up. However, I have another
problem now. I'm having trouble mounting dh0:! I suspect it
has something to do with it looking for "hddisk.device" and
not finding it. I looked for it, and couldn't find it, so I
assume it's in rom somewhere? When I did the actual mount command,
it worked fine, but I couldn't change into the dh0: directory...
Also, my hard drive is whining with these really high pitch
noises for no reason!! 
  Can someone explain what the hddisk.device is, where it is, and
why my dh0: won't mount? 
 
I'm pretty sure i pulled out the right eproms. I pulled out the two
that say "hi" and "low" on the 2060a controller... 

Thanks.

You need to have hddisk and hddisk.info in the expansion directory of your
workbench diskette. These can be found in the harddisk directory on the
2090 Hard Disk Software diskette.

Hddisk is the disk-based equivalent of the device driver found in the ROMs
which you had to remove from the 2090A.
