I think the main problem the disassembler has, that it it only sees the absolute value, but not whether the instruction originally referenced a symbol, or it was just an arbitrary absolute value. For example:

 

[code]

move.l #$1000,d0

move.l #mylabel,a0

[/code]

 

should ideally print the symbol name for the second instruction, but not for the first. The disassembler cannot know, because Hatari can only load symbol values, but not relocation entries from object files.
