Most likely the seller had a newer kickstart in his Amiga, and therefore the filesystem on the hdd isn't compatible with Kickstart 1.3. If that is the case, you either have to upgrade the Kickstart or just format the harddisk.

You should be able to boot from floppy when inserting your floppy and then resetting the computer. If it still boots from hdd first, the boot priority of the hdd has been changed from the default value. You will then have to boot your floppy manually by executing the startup-sequence of the floppy, when you have the CLI window.

You might be able to load workbench and see the hdd just by typing df0:c/loadwb.

Otherwise type

df0:c/execute df0:s/startup-sequence.

You might need to assign system folders first, like this

df0:c/assign c: df0:c

Do the same for libs and devs.
