Amiga Forever and Flowerpot

I've installed the update to Amiga Forever 2017 and Flowerpot into my Dell PC. I want to install OS 4.1 Classic on it, but I keep getting a message that I need to rescan the system ROMs for expansion boot ROM Cyberstorm PPC (128k). There's nothing to rescan. I have no Cyberstorm boot ROM files. Where do I get these?

I tried loading OS 4.1 onto Amiga Forever without Flowerpot, and it seemed to go OK until reboot when OS 4.1 won't boot from the hard drive and insists I insert the CD. It boots from the CD then returns me to the installer to do another install, which takes over an hour. I'm caught in a loop.

I believe the PPC rom should be on the Amiga forever CD. I had to find mine by google as I only have amiga forever 2012. If it keeps trying to boot of CD make sure you don't have os4.1 cd in the cd drive and also that no ISO of os4.1 is specified in Winuae config.

Also do you have the ISO from Hyperion website?
I got my files from Amiga Forever 7.

You need to buy os4.1 classic to access Hyperion ISO from website.

@g01df1sh

After you buy it, you must register it and then download the ISO as per the Flower Pot instructions.
Also see:

for help also.

Yes, the rom file does come with the physical package if you order it that way. I got mine downloaded from Cloanto so the rom files get dropped into the mysterious well of Windows 10! (You know it's on the C drive somewhere in "Program Files".) Once I found it I was able to skip Flowerpot and just install OS 4.1 onto Amiga Forever 2017 following Mike's step by step instructions in a YouTube video. I now have Amiga OS 4.1 running on my Dell Optiplex! Time for some more new games, and thanks for the helpful advice.

I bought Amiga Forever 2017 and all the files are on the disc, but mine was downloaded from Cloanto so it took a while to find where things were in Windows 10 which was forced on my PC by Microsoft while I was asleep (That's why we all love 'em). With AF 2017 you don't need Flowerpot; just install OS 4.1 through AF 2017. Got mine working. many thanks.

How did you install without using Flower Pot?

First I installed Amiga Forever 2017. (has the PPC files) The virtual hard drive set up has been upped to 750 Mb, but Bill (not Mike) said in his YouTube video to go to 1000. I went 999. Make a copy of this version and rename and save it. Krysztof Radzikowski's Book on emulation shows the entire process in an easier to follow mode. The video under "Guru Meditation" goes a little too fast for me.
I ordered the book. and I subscribed to "Guru Meditation".
