   Hmmm... booting from df1... I suspect that
you could do it in one of several ways:

1> Get a hardware hack that, with a swith, exchanged
   which drive you use to boot, but I think it also
   exchanges drive id's.

2> In software, mount df1 with another name (I don't
   know if it's necesary to use another name) and
   set it's bootpri field so that the machine looks
   at it when searching for workbench. BUT, there's
   a catch: you have to mount the device, and that
   means that this is like a catch-22 situation.

3> Hack up an a1000 kickstart disk, and burn some new
   eproms. If you find a prog to hack a kickstart disk,
   send me some email, there's some things I'd like to 
   do to mine :)
