28. Install will now finish. When this screen shows remove all disks by pressing F12, go to the Floppies Properties and press each eject button on all 4 disk drives.

29. Click Start (OK in older versions of Winuae) to return to emulation.

30. Now restart the Amiga by holding down the 3 keys to finish setup - CTRL + LEFT WINDOW + RIGHT WINDOW keys. (press CTRL + INSERT + HOME in older versions of WinUAE) Or you could just press F12 then click reset on bottom left)

Help! I don't have the full set of Workbench 2.0. Not to worry, see http://cpc464.back2roots.org/page07.htm for the alternative method using just the Workbench boot disk.
