I've never used PalBoot, but there is a program I use called BootPAL by Nico
Francois which does basically what you want to do. It only works on Amigas with
the new ECS Agnus, so if you have a 1000, you're out of luck with this program.
It's on FF 331 in the NTSC-PAL drawer, which includes BootNTSC, which boots a
PAL Amiga in NTSC mode.
