Didn't kickstart 2.05 (not 2.1 - that's the WB version) had built in harddisk autoboot support, while 2.04 hadn't? AFAIK, the differences between 2.04 and 2.05 are bigger than between 3.0 and 3.1...

KS 2.05 (from rev 37.300 onwards) brought in a driver for the A600's internal ide connector.

All kickstarts from 1.2.1 (or really 1.3) onwards have supported autobooting from a hard drive.

The differences between 2.04 and 2.05 are rather minor. Merely a carddisk.device and the aforementioned a600 ide driver, perhaps a few bug fixes here and there.

Workbench wise 2.0x -> 2.1 was a bigger leap (yet still minor) than 3.0 -> 3.1
