     Yes it is possible to autoboot the BridgeBoard PC from an Amiga
hard drive. I believe you need version 2.0 of the Janus software, because
that is what I am using.

1.) Go to partition where you want the PC hard drive to be.
2.) Use the 'MakeAB' command to generate a file which simulates the
PC hard drive.
3.) In the PC/Systems drawer create a file called Aboot.CTRL which states
the complete path name where the psuedo PC hard drive (file) exists
(i.e. dh3:pchd) where pchd is the file created using MakeAB

     I think that will do it.
