With patches you can make UAE at least run StartInstall and amiboot. But I
got only 1 BogoMIPS and the boot frooze pretty soon after that. At least
this allows you to check if the StartInstall scripts are correct...
I got a new harddisk for my Amiga, I will try install it this weekend,
install AmigaOS plus a CD-Rom driver and then check out the installation.
No promises though, since I also want to upgrade my notebook with a new
harddisk and DVD drive, plus two smaller updates for my desktop and my
server...
