You don't say which version of AmigaDOS you are using, and/or which file
system (original or Fast), if you are using AmigaDOS 1.3.  I am assuming that
the Starboard controller supports FFS, but since I don't own one, I may be
wrong...

Anyways, if you're not using the FFS, then you oughta be!  That is, if you
can...  I have the same drive as you do (ST277N), except with a Supra 4x4
interface, and have the entire thing set up as FFS partitions (unfortunately
on a 1000, I can't autoboot. :-(
