I suspect that the blitter-less Mega's have all their ROMs installed already.
The problem you are encountering with GEMBOOT is that it uses undocumented
GEMDOS variables which have moved from version to version of the ROM, and the
Megas all have a version of the ROM that have different locations for those
variables.  It is my understanding that the 40 folder problem has not been
fixed in these ROMs, and that you may need a modified version of GEMBOOT.

Maybe someone at Atari can shed a bit more light on this?  This is not one
of those things which, as Leonard T. likes to say has a "better and legitimate"
way to be done -- The 40 folder problem is a very serious problem because it
is much more than just that, as has been discussed to death already.
