Ooops.  All PAL booting programs require the ECS Agnus which your
A1000 does not and cannot use (different chip carrier and support
circuitry) unless you have a third-party upgrade board like the
Rejuvenator.  It is my understanding that in order for your stock A1000
to display PAL, you need the PAL-specific (DIP or thin) Agnus.
