This is the pass #1 at setting up a page to help Amigans patch their AmigaOS 3.9 p ast the official BoingBag #3. This information was provided by a member of Amiga.org who wishes to remain anonymous. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Amiga.org remains a great site to get help with you Amiga.
Should someone out there be capable of creating a script for all of this. I'm sure it would help out new and returning users who may not be as skilled as some of us. I'd be happy to host the script.

AmigaOS 3.9 Boing Bag #3
AmigaOS 3.9 Boing Bag #3
========================
NO WARRANTIES: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Well,
it seems pretty clear now that (May 29th, 2008), Amiga Inc is going
nowhere, and there is not even a clear path of upgrade for Classic
Amiga 68k users. So I decided to recreate an Amiga Boing Bag list that
could include nearly all current semi-official patches for 3.9. Caution
has been taken to avoid the use of patches that may cause problems, but
then i can guarantee nothing.
This Boing Bag has been tested on both an A1200 and UAE with different configurations, and it works beatifully!
A word of warning: This list was created in an attempt to create a post AmigaOS 3.9 boing
bag #2 update, its proper installation requires of a skilled Amiga user!
For futher details keep on reading this document.

AMIGAOS 3.9 REPLACEMENTS:
Serial.device
v43.7 is buggy and is causing modem connection problems. Use previous
serial.device v43.4, which allows you to connect fine.
There are two sets of printer drivers on the 3.9 CD:
The drivers in: AmigaOS3.9:Emergency-Boot/Devs/Printers/ are the original drivers from the OS 3.5 CD, and should work fine.
The drivers in: AmigaOS3.9:OS-Version3.9/Workbench3.9/Storage/Printers/ are from Boing Bag 1, and are known to be buggy.
For omniscsi.device users, there is a bug in PlayCD, and a workaround called "playcdkludge" should be available at http://babel.org.
AMIGAOS 3.9 UPDATE PATCHES
Amigaguide.datatype 45.6 - Fixes race condition with amigaguide.datatype V45.5: some guide
documents are not displayed properly if their size is odd.
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
Icon.library
45.4 - Icon/Copy takes ICONCTRLA_SetGlobalMaxNameLength into account
now, plus many fixes, no more memory leaks using Deficons tool etc.
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
MultiView 45.10 - Many fixes
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
Rexxsyslib.library 44.2 - fixes longword write into unallocated memory
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
Workbench.library 45.131 - Too many fixes
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
The CacheCDFS shipped in OS 3.9 always mounts a CD as "Unnamed" if its
name consists of identical characters (e.g. "Q", "GG", "WWW", ...).
A fix for this is in www.aminet.net inside the file CacheCDFS4220p.lha
KICKSTART ROM UPDATES
Scsci.device
43.45- Adds proper LBA48 IDE support, so disks upto 144 petabytes
(144,000,000 gigabytes)can be used. NOTE:HDToolbox works fine (at least
up to 160GB) Some version create stupid default partitions but just
manually delete them before creating "real" partitions. It also fixes a
bug that overwrites memory past the allocated bytes.
A fix for this is in www.aminet.net in the file named SCSI4345p.lha
Shell 45.27 - Too many bugfixes to list
A fix for this is in www.aminet.net in the file named ShellUpdate.lha
RAM-Handler 44.23 - Fixes the RAM disk to show the real size occupied - its no longer
100% full. A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
Console.device
44.10 - Fixed bug with rp_Font usage; console caches rp_Font of last
opener's window in its own device base and could make use of it even
after that window was closed. This could lead to race conditions such
as accessing unallocated memory. For safety, this cached rp_Font copy
is reset to gb_DefaultFont on each CloseDevice() now. It also fixes an
ancient bug of console.device which doesn't reset text styles on CSI0m
if aSDSS command was used.
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
FastFileSystem 45.14 - fixes mismatched memory deallocations of FastFileSystem V45.13
A fix for this is in http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/OS39BB2-Patches.lha
FUTURE
I hope someday someone can actually create an automated install script that installs all of this stuff!
If you happen to develop or meet by chance a cool and friendly AmigaOS 3.9 patch, then dont hesitate to add it to this list.
Hopefully i might release an AmigaOS 3.9 Boing Bag 3 contribution software list (Some usefull 3rd party software for 3.9).
