I have a some problems with this one. If the CD is connected to the first port together with the CF card its all good including autoboot on mount.
If I switch the CD to port 2 of the IDE interface It wont pass boot, screen just stay all black.
Any clue why it wont boot properly while on port 2? IDE fix is installed and the CD will mount on port 2 just fine if I reinstall IDE-fix. But it wont pass a boot like it will when both devices are connected to port 1.

If I split between port 1 and 2. Devices get ID 0 & 3 when scanned with IDEfix.
If I run two devices on port 1 they get ID 0 & 1.
If I run two devices on port 1 & and one Device on port 2 the first two gets ID 0 & 1. the Device on port 2 wont detect using IDEfix.

Amiga's IDE interface is the bare minimum to get a HDD up and running. It needs a good amount of help to recognize other types of drives and I'm guessing the firmware gets confused trying to find the boot device.
