I've tried as WHDLoad and installed straight to the hard drive on a minimig version of an A1200. I get a crash at around where the FTL splash screen should appear.

Disk speed is currently benchmarking at roughly 1.3MB/s when it used to be around 1.8MB/s but I do sometimes take a reading and it's up to 1.6.
None of this is very scientific, I'll have to do some digging. At the end of the day it's probably something on my Amiga install.

I have burned many frustrating hours with PFS3 and SFS 1.84 trying to make a hardfile that works. On the PC it seems easy, but as soon as I transfer to the MiSTer SD card via direct copy or FTP, it shows as non DOS under an A1200 lookalike running ClassicWB 3.1. I've added SFS and PFS AIO to the ClassicWB 3.1 L: directory.
As Catweazle would say "Nuthing works"
My understanding is that either PFS3 or SFS utilise directscsi and don't require a patched scsi.device to achieve up to 8GB partitions.
What am I missing?
Thanks

This helped me. https://hstwb.firstrealize.com/ They have some ready to use HD files that WinUAE and MiSTer recognize without issues. Then you can install Workbench on it via WinUAE as normal. Or you can build a new file. They also have some utilities and scripts that help you build what you want as well. It's a good starting point anyway.

Just to clarify, the SD card in the MiST is configured to boot straight into Amiga OS3.9, and it is configured as an Amiga only; not other cores.

You can start MiSTer with a specific core (e.g. always with the minimig core) by renaming the chosen core file to «core.rbf». The core named «core.rbf» is always loaded when MiSTer is turned on. (You can load other cores from the options menu).

No, it's not that way. MiSTer never used core.rbf - it's MiST specific.
There is a special option for this.
