> I have a question concerning hardware expansion for the Amiga.

And I have a couple more...

Where in the documentation does a description of the boot process (from
power-up) appear?  I'm talking low-level details of the REAL ROM here,
and I don't mean the so-called "Kernel ROM" (which of course isn't a ROM
at all).  I need sufficient info to enable me to attach a hard disk to
an Amiga and actually boot from it directly.

I have a copy of the "ROM Kernel" and the "Hardware Manual" from which 
I have discovered that there is a hook for developers to add additional
I/O devices into the memory space and there is a description of how the Amiga
boots from the floppy.  But there is no more info than that.  Is there
a manual called "TOP SECRET -- The *Real* Hardware Manual" ?
