Wicher 500i rev 2c boot menu, cannot access

Today received card and installed on my Amiga 500
According to manual holding left mouse key during startup or reboot menu should pop up.
But nothing.
Kickstart is 3.1.4 since i want to install AmigaOS.
HDTool on install disk does not show anything, i suppose that IDE controller needs to be activated.
What i am doing wrong?
Thanks.

What happens if you just boot from Floppy, e.g. into workbench?
Does the card work?

Hhhhmmm... could be a bit tricky.
Maybe it helps to make sure all basic fault options are excluded.
Better double-check the wires to the motherboard and that they only have contact with the required pins, i.e. no shorts. These fly-wires can be a bit tricky.
Next you might try to run the software for the Wicher. I mean all the things that get installed with the software from Retro 7bit. Anything there maybe to adjust?
Cheers,

Wires are checked and it is ok.
I tried to install but i cannot since there is no free space on floppy of course
I am little confused how is suppose to configure card without accessing menu.
There is very little infos how to setup.

Got info from card creator.
C/P
"For the WicherBootMenu to work, you must use the LoadModule program. Syntax below
C:LoadModule >NIL: DEVS:WicherBootMenu
This entry should be placed at the beginning of Startup-Sequence file."
Now i need to sort this, no so familiar with this kind of stuff.
EDIT: It seems that card have some issues, i cannot get whatever i tried to recognize any kind of CF card.
Tried three CF card and one IDE hdd, nothing.
IDE to CF is ok, tested in PC.
