Yes, HDDisk in SYS:Expansion and the startup-sequence calling Binddrivers are the important pieces. Setpatch is mandatory for 99% of boot scenarios. You'd only need 68040.library if you have a 68040 :)

Sounds like space on the floppy might be an issue? All you really need the disk to do is mount the 2090 and then transfer (re-assign) the system over to the hard drive. You shouldn't have any trouble fitting the above components on a disk for that.

It's part of a normal system bootup. If you're intending to run a "normal" system from the 2090, you should run SetPatch. If you're doing something unusually custom, you might be able to get away without it.

Only real way to find out is to test.
