I earlier posted a message asking about problems I was having with the ICDBOOT.PRG
and trying to disable the autoboot from the hard-drive. Thanks to everyone who
replied and with their help and some luck of my own, I have managed to solve it
sort 0f...

With my ST (1040 with TOS 1.4), the following sequence would allow the ST
to boot completely from the floppy disk, ie. not using the AUTO folder of the
hard drive boot partition.

DO a cold boot, and wait for the Floppy drive light to come on and then go off
again. Now press and hold down Ctrl/Alt/Shift until the hard drive light 
flashes on an goes off. Now release the keys and the computer will continue
to boot reading the floppy.

One more thing to note. If you have ICDBOOT.PRG in the AUTO folder of your 
floppy, it will be read no problem, but the computer then goes to hard drive
and installs whatever accessories are there for a hard-drive boot.
If you want to come up with the accessory arrangement on your floppy, the 
easiest thing is to remove ICDBOOT.PRG from your floppy AUTO folder and 
run in manually after you have booted. You can then access your hard drive
no problem.

I'm sure there are more elegant fixes than this, but... I also had several
people say just get SUPERBOOT or G+PLUS, etc., and forget about it. 
Probably good advice.

Anyway, there is the summary of what I discovered. 

Thanx again,
