I was looking at the kickstart screen one day on my old Ami 1000,
and I thought, hey!  I've got 2 floppies and a hard disk.
Now, I almost never use the floppies, because of the hard disk.
I do keep floppies in both to keep them from whining
(feed me, feed me, feed me...)  so I thought that it would
be a really good idea to be able to keep the kickstart
disk in my df0: and my system disk in df1:.  This way,
I don't have to put in the kickstart to have my
computer reboot.

What do you think.  Is this a possibility?  I know that
PC-DOS machines can boot off of either a: or b:, so
why not the ami?
