 But as Piru said, it`s not a trivial task to split up a ROM.You gotta know where one part ends and another starts, which isn`t always obvious  :pissed:
 Some parts are easy, as they only have 6 relocs to find, but graphics.library is a real headache , somewhere around 2500 relocs to sort out... and they vary from rom to rom.
 
ehm, not that I got that much experience with hacking things like this (or actually, being a complete N00b), but ehm, since the kickstart rom wasn't included in the H/W of the A1000, there was a kickstart disk. Dunno til which version of the kickstart was released on disk, but surely the adressing on such a kickstart-on-disk is managed differently.
Maybe it's worth checking, for getting more overall insight :-)
