Apple's Drive Setup program allows you to select which partitions mount
automatically via a checkbox. ("Volume Settings..." under "Functions") You
can't change the partition you are booted off of (and maybe the one that you
are running Drive Setup from) but since just about all bootable Mac OS CDs
have Drive Setup on them, it's easy enough to boot from a CD to do it.
