So far I got bup-kiss, it just sat there with the ? floppy icon. Perhaps it doesn't work on multiple partitions.

Command;Shift;Option;Delete should work with either HFS or HFS+. It just
tells the Mac to start looking for a different drive with an operating
system installed (rather than the internal boot drive). However I don't
remember in what order it searches (ie. first look for a hard drive, then
move on to a removable such as CD, then Zip, etc.).

If I recall correctly, first it looks for another hard drive. If it can't
see one with a system folder on it, then it moves on to look for a bootable
CD-ROM. But again, I don't remember.

Also I'm not sure how it would handle finding another hard drive with
multiple volumes, each with it's own OS. I would imagine it will go with the
first partition on that drive.
