what do you mean by nothing ? a500 do not boot at all ? or it boots but no sign of life from hdd ?
as thomas said, if it supports autoboot, then you don:t need any drivers. you should boot via floppy, check if addhard.device (or whatever its called) is around, fire hdinsttools with this device, see if scsi hdd is recognised on the chain, and partition as you like.
