Selecting ADFS and doing *. should give you the directory listing. On the
beeb, ADFS puts the hard discs first, if present, so :0 will be the hard
disc and :4 will then become the floppy disc. With no hard discs, :0 is
the floppy.

It should just work, provided the hard disc is okay. If it hangs on
booting, it could be its trying to read something from the disc and
failing. Its been a while since I used the HD on my Master 512.
