Insert volume ENV
« on: January 02, 2009, 05:53:22 PM »
I've just installed 3.1 and there was an error, when I boot from the CF I get an 'insert volume ENV' and I go straight into dos.

Where is ENV?

Just add the following line to your startup-sequence after the SETPATCH command and all will be well

c:Assign ENV: RAM:

There isn't a startup-sequence file so I made one and typed

SETPATCH
c:Assign ENV: RAM:

But the machine boots into dos?

Add the following to the above:

c:Loadwb
c:EndCLI

It sounds more like the OS is not properly installed. LoadWB is, by default, in the standard startup-sequence (along with a hundred or so other lines).

Yes, it sounds to me that a piece of software is searching for environment configuration files, usually stored in ENVARC: .  Simply assigning ENV: to RAM: is a workaround to prevent the requesters from appearing, however it is not the ideal solution.

The original WB3.0/3.1 startup-sequence copies the contents of ENVARC: to RAM:env and assigns it as ENV: . This process consumes memory however, and can be replaced entirely by using the excellent HappyEnv/MountEnv packages.

Cheers,
James
