On the EPROM versions of the 3000 (read that, any 3000 before 2.0
has been installed as a ROM) the Kickstart is loaded into memory and
executed from there. That makes it easy for you to update differing versions
of kickstart by simply putting a different disk in and telling the Amiga to
update kickstart. It does, however, use up the 512K that Kickstart uses.
