If you have a hard disk, you can format it for the Amiga on your PeeCee and boot the Amiga from it. I have done this before. There's a certain partitioning tool you need for the peecee. But, maybe you can do it right from UAE, I haven't tried it.
You *can* boot your Amiga without a boot disk, the OS is in ROM! But, that wouldn't do you any good as you still wouldn't be able to read a peecee disk. The amount of OS in ROM is very small.
I recommend buying OS3.1 from an Amiga vendor, there are copies of this waiting to be bought. And then, make a whole bunch of backups of the Install disk. You can't survive a hard drive crash without at least that.
