I seem to recall some early AE HD drives couldn't/didn't work as boot
drives. Just adding to the thread...

When connected to the IIgs disk port they only booted 800k disks. Only
after the AEHD driver was loaded would it recognize 1.6mb disks.

I did have an idea that I tried but didn't actually work. I tried
booting off an 800k disk with the AEHD driver and then from there
rebooting from a 1.6mb disk which also had the AEHD driver. I thought
that maybe it would  load the AEHD driver on the 1.6mb disk before it
got confused. Unfortunately it stopped recognizing 1.6mb disks before it
loaded the driver off the 1.6mb disk
