About to install a CF hard drive, what should I watch out for?

[blanning]

I'm about to install a 2gb CF card with one of those ide adapters into my a600.  The plan is to upgrade the machine to 3.1 roms, then put the CF card into a USB CF card reader on my XP box, then use WinUAE to format and install 3.1 on the drive.  Is there anything I should watch out for?  Any tricks that would be useful to know up front?  thanks.

why don't you just install it direct on the amiga with hdtoolbox?

I don't have 3.1 floppies.  And it would be a bigger pain to make them than to just stick the CF card into my xp machine.

Thanks to everyone.  I was hoping to get my rom in the mail today, but no luck.  Now I'm hoping to get it tomorrow so I have the weekend.
