ScuzzBlog: Diaries September 2025 Entry 11th September 2025: Post : Amiga Bootblock - How to put the boot in. Amiga Bootblock - How to put the boot in. As part of my guide on how to create a self booting disk suitable for use as a basic Workbench disk, today I was going to explain the terms bootblack and rootblock. Fortunately I found this wonderful article by Jolyon Ralph in Amiga Computing July 90 that did the job much better than I ever could. The article is part of the series on the 'Code Clinic' which the accompanying cover disk simply points you back to the magazine for guidance. The disk offers very little other than to let you play 'MiniBlast' which is quite cute. I have covered the bootblock in previous blogs if you search the index. This article was more about the structure of a basic Amiga DD disk and how it recognises the basic structure of the disk and the location of the bootblock. The cover disk is Number 9 if you are interested and I assume you can download that from EAB Magazine Rack. Amiga Bootblock - How to put the boot in.
