What happens if you unplug the HD and boot the Amiga without a floppy in the drive? Will it boot from a floppy upon insertion then?

To me it sounds as though someone has built in a PC floppy without undertaking the necessary conversion, so the Amiga doesn't receive the READY and DISKCHANGE signals it expects.

I have never encountered a Toaster system, living in PAL land, but I wonder if the refusal to cold boot could be due to the Toaster trying to find an external signal to sync to. What happens if you remove the Toaster and its cards?
