Try stripping first 512 bytes from the beginning. It is possible driver simply "hides" the first block. There was some HD controller (early AdIDE?) that did something similar.

If you want to try it in WinUAE: configure some 68020 config (CPU model, speed etc isn't really important). Enable trifecta emulation (expansions -> scsi controllers -> trifecta), change model to LC, select correct ROM (selecting ROM enables it). ROM is visible in drop down if ROM was detected by ROM scanner. Other options (Trifecta jumpers) shouldn't need adjustments.

Mount the HDF normally and then change HD controller to Trifecta.
