t is there any particular reason why AROS won't boot/run on FAT32 formatted SD card?


AROS is a real OS with own Amiga like file system, own drivers and direct access to the systems hardware. WinUAE is just a sim/emulator running on an alien OS, using the drivers of this alien OS, and usually a simulated hard drive. AFAIK there is a Windows hosted AROS version under development for Windows.

AROS is intended to be a real OS and WinUAE is intended to be an application under Windows

You asked for SSDs ? Running on SSDs should be possible as long as they act like real hardware drives ( IDE / Sata ) .
