Steve,
Putting any 2 devices together off the A1000's side port is a 'it may
or may not work' situation. Because of that, there is no way to say for sure
if a HD will or won't work if you have a StarBoard2. I can tell you that I
know of someone who has a Xebec and a StarBoard2 and they work fine together.
Also, I do not know if it will be possible (one way or the other) to
boot off a HD on an A1000 even with the new 1.3, a GUESS is that it won't be
possible unless you use CBM's driver and that would require the interface to
act like an A2090 interface card. Again…that is strictly a GUESS, not based
on any rumors or facts I've heard.
