Amiga A1060 Sidecar and XT-IDE/CF Card

Hi all, looking for some advice if possible.
I have an old A1060 Sidecar which I have now gotten up and running on my A1000.
Boots fine off the built-in 5.25" floppy, and I have an A1010 drive also connected as drive B:
I would like to add a "hard drive" solution, namely in the form of an XT-IDE card, which then has an IDE-CF adaptor attached to it, allowing me to use a CF card as the hard drive.
I purchased the Blue Lava XT-CF solution from Ebay (see this link:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126653191682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=IsFl_enpTP2&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=EKdQA03uRH2&var=427696887388&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
), but the system simply wont boot from the "C:" drive.
Any advice on this?
Is it simply not compatible?
Any help appreciated!

On the Amiga side, I don't think the side zorro slot is capable of autobooting a hdd. Running a hdd in the A1060 is possible as here, also not autobooting but runs Janus to access the hdd.

On the CF side I would only use Sandisk or Trancend cards formatted to a max of what the XT FS is compatible with.
