Yeah, wouldn't it be possible to have a floppy preboot that performs the
same startup for the hard disk as people with 2090A controllers will get
from their ROMs?  It would only have to do a couple dozen K of floppy I/O 
at most versus having to load the workbench, do a startup sequence including
mount, loading the driver &c &c &c
