English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Amiga A2620 troubles -> no autoboot from HDD?

Hi,
new member here, so a quick hello to all users of EAB.

First post, and I have question already...

I bought A2620 for one my A2000s - card works OK, passes RAM test, CPU works OK. Problem is it won't boot AmigaOS from HDD. It doesn't even see the HDDs as boot devices (SCSI HDD on A2091 and IDE HDDs on Buddha).
When I switch back to 68000 via right-click powerup menu it will boot just fine from the HDD. Controller cards are visible in the SysInfo when using A2620.
Kickstart is 3.1. Machine has 2MB of Fast on A2620, 2MB of Fast on A2091 and 4MB of Fast on 3-State memory card (more memory is populated on the card, but I can't use it after installing the A2620). It seems A2620 has latest Rev 7 ROM (but I'm not 100% sure it does).

I know A2620 has a jumper to allow Amiga Unix autoboot, but I don't think it's necessary for Amiga OS.

What I'm missing here?
