It doesn't respect bootdrive setting, but it can be forced to boot
from floppy with Hatari GEMDOS emulation.  To do that:
- add "--fast-boot off" to Hatari options to get EmuTOS startup screen
- press ALT in EmuTOS startup screen to skip C:

Then you should have Hatari GEMDOS tracing with EmuTOS booting your
program from floppy AUTO directory.
