Eyup - HardFrame (and GVP if done with proper RigidDiskBlocks stuff) will
boot with all FFS partitions on the disk. The only thing that is "missing"
is the first track which is where the boot information is stored.

ps: - you DO want the 1.3 pack even if you do not install 1.3 roms. Setpatch
makes life a whole lot nicer. And all the new WB and CLI commands are kinda
handy to have around.
