Steve,
I was speaking of CBM's 'official' method of autobooting off the HD.
The way I see it, it will probably require DMA access and the driver in ROM (or
KickStart) so that it knows how to go out and look at the HD without hitting on
a boot floppy.
Since there are very few DMA HD interfaces for the A1000, that's why I
suspect that it may be difficult for A1000 owner's to get it. That doesn't
mean it can't be done…just my suspicions.
