Trev;
 
Did you remember to reseat the autoboot jumper?
 
The hardFrame is shipped with a jumper moved one space.  It's documented in
the UserGuide at the autoboot enable/disable jumper.  For any drive to be
automounted this jumper must be SET (ie. moved over one place on the board,
so that the bridge is made.  It's shipped in the unmade position)

Do this, and the partitions will appear.  The reason why the jumper
is shipped disabled is simple.....
 
You see, if the jumper is connected, the HardFrame will try to
autoboot from the drive, and go into orbit, since the drive isn't Amiga-
format.
