Re: System 7.5 Question

[Allan Hunter]

All the advice you've been getting so far is good and accurate. 
There is, however, a way that you can literally make the computer 
ignore the current bootup device and go find a bootable system 
elsewhere:  hold down the keys Command-Option-Delete-Shift as you 
reboot.  If you have a second bootable device attached to your 
computer, try it now.

(Not a floppy though, floppies don't count.  A bootable floppy disk 
already overrides all other bootable media.  If your computer is 
floppy-bootable and there's a bootable floppy in the slot, it's gonna 
boot from it.  To override THAT, you hold down the mouse button as 
you boot.)

Is there a way to make the computer (a IIci in this case) ignore a system
folder?  I'm thinking of archive files or another HD with a system on it that
I want to use but not boot from or confuse the computer.  It doesn't seem as
easy as re-naming or putting in another folder.
Suggestions?
