Your experiment is a failure because you aren't testing for compatibility.
How so? He was booting his system without the library and it crashed due to software/hardware incompatibilities. What part exactly do you fail to understand about it?
While I agree with you that using a real Amiga is superior to using an emulator so far when it comes to old hardware dependent applications, I understand that it's a personal opinion, not a fact, and arguing that the 68040 is backwards compatible with the 68000 or 68020 is just silly, because it just isn't (from looking at the instruction set differences) and practically, in many cases it doesn't work.
Thankfully there are people who patch games and create libraries to make up for the incompatibilities, and claiming that their work is for nothing is quite disrespectful in my opinion.
Telling us that your setup boots fine doesn't really prove anything else but that; your system boots fine. Anecdotal evidence based on your particular setup doesn't hold water when it comes to proving your point.
