There was a key combo one could use in System 6 to switch the boot volume after the machine had booted.
Could it be Command-Option-double clic on the Finder/System file? At least, if you had MultiFinder disabled, you could enable it by doing Command-Option-double clic on the MultiFinder init... so maybe this is the method you're referring to.
That sounds right. I haven't done it since I got a hard disk for my Plus. This feature came from the era of floppy only systems. Due to the limited room on floppies one often had different boot floppies for different applications. So to change without restarting you'd insert the new boot floppy, Command-Option double click on Finder (or MultiFinder) on the new disk. This would make the new floppy the "boot" floppy. You could then put away the old boot disk, stick in your data disk and go. What could be simpler. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
