Summary:Auto booting 204?

Keywords:Hard disk, GEMBOOT


I have a few questions for anyone using a SH204 with a Mega ST. I have a Meag2
with a SH204, I have being auto booting from the hard disk using HDB_V2.3, I
used to be able to auto boot from the floppy when the CTRL,SHIFT, and ALT.
keys were held down, well since I started using the Mega, the machine always
boots from the hard disk with the keys down or up?????????????? I am also 
using GEMBOOT to overcome the 40 folder limit in TOS(has it been fixed with 
the new ROMS). So I thought no big deal I will just kill the boot sector on
drive C when I want to boot a disk from drive a(copy protection is a real 
pain in the ass for the owners of hard disks), when I kill the boot sector 
the machine will not auto boot from drive "A"?????????? So then I thought
well I will try and run the hard disk driver prg. to get back into the 
"C" drive, no good, when I run the driver prg. it tells me that I am using 
a set of ROMS not from ATARI, has there been a new driver written for the 
SH204 and MEGA? Well to finish it off I ran the boot sector prg. from drive "A"
and reinstalled the boot sector on drive "C", well she boots up fine again
from the hard disk, but no auto boot from drive "A". HELP!!!!
later
