I have installed an ST251-1 and MFM controller into my Sidecar
and have it working fairly nicely.

I have had to reboot everytime I turn the AMIGA on inorder to get
past the DJMount command (which immediately follows BindDrivers).

Once I start the machine (cold boot), I have to warm boot to get 
going.  Once it goes it goes very nicely.

Now, once I open my PCWindow, I see that I had a boot disk failure.
I reboot the IBM (Ctrl, Alt, Del) and IT boots normal from the A:
drive.

Everything works fine - once I DOUBLE BOOT BOTH MACHINES. 

My question is 'Why do I have to double boot to get it working'.

Already trieds:

reconfigure where everything is in memory from C8000H D0000H D8000H
E0000H.
cables correctly installed.
Tried with boot formatted and non-boot formated harddrive.
tried moving from the rightmost slot to the middle slot back and forth.

Any suggestions more than welcome.
