I installed a larger hard drive in my SE/30 and made a few partitions to be able to boot different OS versions, but I'm having difficulting specifying which volume to boot from. I used the startup disk control panel to select the partition I wanted to boot, and then when I open the control panel again to confirm it made the selection, it shows all the partitions as being selected. When I reboot, the first partition always boots no matter which partition I choose. The system folders in the other partitions are blessed.
For the older operating systems (pre 7.6?) one needed a utility usually included with the disk formatting software, in order to set which partition to boot from.
APS PowerTools and FWB Hard Disk Tool Kit included utilities or features that allowed one to choose a boot partition among other functions.
It might be an interesting experiment to try the Start-Up Disk CP from 7.6.1 with the earlier OSs.
