Is there a FAQ somewhere to help when you have problems on installation?

Here's my problem if someone wants to take a wack at it:
I have an Amiga 3000/WB 2.0/6 Meg.  First problem I encountered was that the 
DOSType in my version of HDToolbox was called a generic "Identifier".  So 
I'm not sure if the partitions were set up satisfactorily.  (Yeah, I know my 
system is old...)  After setting the partitions up as specified in the 
Install document (as close as I could manage), I booted the kernel and 
loaded the install floppy.  The install script could never find my root 
drive.  Any suggestions?

Is there a DOS upgrade in my near future?  I really didn't want to spend any 
more money on my Amiga right now... (esp. since my 1950 monitor died while I 
was still trying to figure out a way to install NetBSD)

TIA,
Dave.
