I have written a program in AMOS Professional which I have compiled and copied onto a floppy disk.
How do you make the disk self booting so that the program will load from the disk after resetting the Amiga?

Put your program in a drawer named C in the root directory of the disk, put the needed libraries in the LIBS drawer in the root directory of the disk, make a drawer named S in the root directory of the disk, create a text file with ED or some other text editor and enter the name of your compiled program on the first line. Name the text file you created "startup-sequence" and save it in the S directory.

don't forget to add a bootblock to the disk, it's done with the command "install df0:" (df0: should obviously be replaced by the drive the disk is actually in)
