It creates a fake harddrive for the BridgeBoard. The name of the file should
be in the file SYS:Pc/ABoot.CTRL and when you start the BridgeBoard, that
one will think it has a hard drive. (Don't forget to RUN PcDisk on the Amiga).

I don't know what happenes if you already have a real harddisk hanging on the
BB, and I also have no succeeded to make to virtual harddrives at the same time
(one as C and one as D). I want to do this to create a new virtual drive without
having to backup the old one. (Anyone suggestions??).
