I've partitioned the 750Mb SCSI drive in my SE/30 and installed OS 6.0.8 on one 200Mb partition and 7.1 on the remaing space. However, I cannot seem to get the machine to boot from the 7.1 partition. When I use Startup Disk to select the volume, both partitions are usually selected. If I just select the 7.1 partition and reboot, system 6 comes up every time.
I've tried copying the startup disk control panel from 7.1 to the 6.0.8 folder with no better luck. Also, I can't get Mode32 to work at all, in any version on this SE/30. I have the Multifinder turned off, but I'm still stuck with 8Mbs of RAM instead of the 32 I installed. (Can't try system 7 yet of course, because I can't boot there...) Anyway, I read this article (http://www.lowendmac.com/oldmac/compact3.html) and it seems to suggest that I should be able to boot from one partition to the other just by using Startup Disk. Any suggestions, short of getting System Picker?
