Well they're old hat to me, having four of them, along with other Amigas.
You need a Workbench disk, probably WB 1.3.
Does the picture just show a stationary hand and a blue outline of the disk?
That means you have Kickstart 1.3 ROM installed.
If you have an animation, of a 3-d disk sliding in, you have WB 2.04 or
higher. For maximum use, KS 3.1 is reccommended.
There is NO hard disk that is stock -- you'll need an A2091 SCSI card and
a SCSI drive, which I happen to have several extra, along with Ethernet
cards.
Contact me off-list and I'll see what I can do for you.

I just today acquired an apparently stock Amiga 2000.
Unfortunately, I
have no boot disk for it & it has no hard drive. I cannot get it to show
the "Insert Disk" animation (does it even have this?). The screen
flashes between gray & white.
My apologies for the stupid questions, but Amigas are new animals to me!
