BADROMSUM can't happen.  Kickstart V1.2 does *not* checksum the ROM.

The A1000 boot ROMs will not display red on a bad checksum, they
just put up the "Instart Kickstart" screen.

You can load a corrupt Kickstart disk in with no complaint or
indicator.  On C-A-A it will post the "Instart Kickstart" screen
again.

Unless I am missing something, that should be BADRAM
