Which volume? You have to boot (actually start up from) partition #1.
The Wallstreet won't start up if certain files it needs are beyond the
first 8Gb of the disk as most of partition #2 and all of partition #3

the boot volume (as in Startup Disk) must be the one on partition #1.
No, this is NOT true. All that is required to boot from any partition
beyond the 1st 8 GB is a that a "helper" partition resides within the
1st 8 GB. There is no requirement that the helper partition have any OS
at all, it can be completely empty (other than space for the XPF files),
and can be as small as 50 MB.
READ WHAT I WROTE! I just said that.
