Amiga 1000 and supra hard drive setup

[Jman]

hello all. I have the following hardware. An amiga 1000, a kwikstart board with 2.0 rom, 3 starboard 2 expanisons each with 2mb on them, a supradrive 4x4 scsi expansion, an exteranl hard drive enclosure with 520mb hard drive. I have not been able to get the thing formated with the os 2.04 software, however I did get it formated with the supratools disk for os 1.3. I have been able to boot up with the 2.0 disk with the supramount 0 command. I really want to get this thing to autoboot but I am having a real hard time. I have searched all over the internet for information on this expansion. As I understand it from a web site this expansion should be autobooting so I am at a loss for why it is not auto booting. I am rather poor at editing the startup-sequence and whatnot but I can follow instructions so if anyone has any help I would appreciate it. Oh also I am in the united states, I don't know if this web page is out of the country but I don't think that should matter much.

yes the hdtoolbox does recognize the hard drive. I can partition it and low level format it but when I restart the system with the same disk there is supposed to be an icon to select to format the hard drive partitions, I do not get these  unless I boot with the supra 1.3 disk or add the supramount 0 command to the startup-sequence.  I do so and format the hard drive partitions and reboot without the disk in but I just get the 2.0 boot screen asking for a boot disk.

Melott, I have to try to do that, use the supra 1.3 software and format the hard drive and such (really don't know the procedure because I just have the disk and not the documentaion). And then install the 2.0 OS software. But first  I have to get the two new 1gig scsi hard drives in and formated. I really do not know much about the 3.5" scsi hard drives. The old ST hard drives 5 1/4" had terminators that you unplugged on all but the last drive and I don't know how to set up these, plus I think I need a new cable in my internal hard drive enclosure because the cable only has one connector on it for one drive. So if all goes well then the hard drive should auto boot. Am I to assume that if it does not that I need a new autobooting controller? :-?  If so I am going to have to look around a while, these things are hard to find, I guess people still use them.
