I'm trying to get MSH to work on my A500 running AMIGADOS 1.3. I have had
limited success getting the mount function to accept the example Mountlist
file with some minor modifications. When I enter
>mount msh: from Mountlist
my Amiga responds with
"Reserved not assigned".
Here is the mountlist entry that I'm using:
/* Messy file system on messy blocks: */
MSH: FileSystem = ram:MessyFileSystem
Device = ram:messydisk.device
Unit = 1
Flags = 0
LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 79
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 9
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 1 /* messydisk needs no chip mem */
BootPri = 0
Stacksize = 4096
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
#
I have all the MSH files on the ram: drive as stated in the above file entry.
When I put an MS-DOS formatted disk into drive 1, I get the standard "Bad
Disk" icon and cannot access the disk using any amigados commands.
What do I need to do next?
Thanks for the help.

AThe error message gives the reason why its not working, but its fairly
obscure. A parameter "Reserved" should be in the mountlist. So it should
look like this:
msh: FileSystem = ram:MessyFileSystem
Device = messydisk.device
Unit = 1
Flags = 0
LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 79
Reserved = 0 /* IMPORANT */
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 9
Buffers = 5
BuffMemType = 1
BootPri = 0
StackSize = 4096
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1

re: mounting Msh into ram:
First remember to do your assigns to include the following
MSH: FileSystem = L:MessyFileSystem
Device = DEVS:messydisk.device.
The assigns sould be in this format:
assign l: ram:l
As I recall, the devs and Lassigns MUST be done...but I could be wrong.
