Could it be the version of your kickstart? Could it be the firmware on the TF530? I think more details about your setup would help.
Also, is your hdtoolbox configured to use scsi.device? |

I have A Rev 6A A500 Motherboard, Kickstart 3.1 Rom Installed, A501 Ram Expansion Installed, TF530 Revision 3 Installed with a int2 Cia Adapter, A Gotek Drive is also Installed. I am not sure on how to Check the TF530 Firmware and HDToolbox States it is looking for Scsi unit 0 Address 0 and Cant Find the CF at all. Cf Adapter is Set to Master/ Slave on the Jumper. I have Even Installed WB 3.1 Via UAE and tried the Hard Drive Settings on Both Scsi and IDE to Get nothing. Even tried it on UAEHF just to see and have had no Luck at all.

Have been up literally the past two days solid trying to Eradicate this Annoying as hell non Explanatory issue of it not being able to boot from CF. Have looked at HD Toolboxes Information to get nothing out of the ordinary, Tried Patches, have learnt a Crud load more though at least when it comes to Datatypes, Devs, Startup etc... but Still have Spent all this Money to get my Amiga to where I want it to be i.e Booting a Os from "HDD" (CF Card) and am hitting a brick wall from all four Directions it Seems

Any Suggestion no Matter how Weird or Whacky would be of Great Help. Could it even be my CIA Chips Causing Mayhem?

This is a little unclear - set to master or set to slave? Anyways, if it the only device on the cable, it should not matter. To make sure HDToolBox is using scsi.device, check the ToolTypes of the HDToolBox icon. How to check the TF530 firmware I am not sure, but assuming it using same trick as TF328, it would be by going to early-startup (press both mouse buttons on boot) and check the expansion board diagnostics, there you should see the TF530 and the product ID probably reveals the firmware version. I would check the TerribleFire thread here on this site

Try to get the CF to boot via Winuae first. That will mean that at least your software (OS) settings are ok.

The Cf boots Perfectly on Winuae and I changed The HDD Controller from Both IDE and SCSI and Neither Would Boot in the A500. HDD Toolbox is set to use SCSI. have Checked Early Startup and there are two Working Expansions. Which I am Guessing are the A501 Ram Expansion and the Accelerator itself. Both Say Underneath Model 5080 and underneath Working one says 29 and the other Says 1

I suggest you ask on the TerribleFire thread, I don't have TF530 and don't know about its firmware situation...
