If I remember correctly, there is a switch in the back of the A590 that
controls whenever the hard drive is bootable or not. If this switch is on,
then A500 should boot from the hard drive when there is no disk attached.
However, I can't recall if A590 supports booting on the Kickstart ROM R1.2
at all. As a general rule, hard drives are bootable only with Kickstart
R1.3 or later but there was some controllers that were able to boot under
R1.2 as well.
