In the original CDTV thread on the exxos forum TF lists the addresses of places in the ROMs to be patched.

I believe it is this single location in cdfs.device which when pactched allows the system to boot from HDD and the CD drive to be used in Workbench

And *possibly* this location in cdtv.device but I am not sure

I don't have a TF536 so I have never tried any of this. I think TF released a 536 FW which patched the address in cdfs.device to allow booting. But I don't know if it was widely distributed (if at all).

TF then went on to try to find all the locations with a memory allocation without a memtype in hope that it would allow booting from CD drive

With no luck.
