It's got a 28MHz accelerator and 4MB fast mem card. (Shows 2.8 ROM on boot screen but that's a 2.04 right? There is a broken wire between two pins on the ROM chip - I remember a patch from the old days but I don't remember what for. Should I fix the broken wire?
I've never heard of 2.8 ROMS, but you can check the Kickstart ROM. It'll probably have something like version 37175 on it. The broken wire you're talking about is probably between pins 1 and 31, correct? If so, you should only fix it if you're motherboard is rev 3. Rev 4 and older shouldn't have those 2 pins connected.
(Refresh my memory is fastmem automatically added to the OS or does it require a command? It has been a long time. The discs I've booted so far have only shown the chipram.
Depends on the memory expansion. If it's autoconfig it will be added automatically, if not, you'll need to use addmem or a similar vendor provisioned tool to add the memory during startup. Your best bet would be to identify the memorycard and then search for its details on

Have fun with your A2000 !
