I don't think so! There is a simple solution! The ST will only
Log the Hard disk in if the Hard disk driver program is present
on the boot disk. Simply make sure foldrxxx is on any copies of
your boot disk. Even better, run HDboot and let the machine
boot off of the Hard Disk!! Wasn't that easy?!

                              Not really. I find the Amigoid community to be
                              EXCEEDINGLY rude.
