Can you boot from an external 1.76MB floppy ?
yes. its treated just as the old classic external floppies that I'm sure
most people had with their A500's
but 1.76MB floppies would be easily supported, almost nothing needs to be
changed, apart from the rescue disk creation. Does someone

Don't you need some part of AmigaOS to make a floppy bootable?
no, and yes. Under AmigaOS you run 'install df0:' but this doesnt

But the bootblock is code. Of course we can reverse engineer and clean room

over 10,000 coders have made their own bootblocks for Amiga
floppies...either commercial games or demo disks.
