Each of the 3 macOS partitions has some sort of OS7.x system. Before using System Picker I could choose any of the three to boot from but the machine would always boot the first partition being OS7.1. Going back to the startup disk cp would show each of the 3 partitions highlighted. Each of the System Folders is blessed. I'm not sure that the OS7.1 install was a complete success, everything works ok and it feels quite zippy, little things like no screen mode choice in monitors cp and the startup disk cp not working properly make me wonder if something didn't go a little wrong. I've only got a Classic running OS7 so it makes a poor comparison. System Picker works well enough but its a hack, I don't like the violent reboots compared to the ease of Startup Disk cp. Should the cp work properly under OS7.1 or would I be better off having a higher version OS running on the first partition?
