No the SE will only see 4 mb of RAM, I would try and find an SE/30 motherboard which will solve your RAM issue (up to 128 mb) as well as the FD/HD issue. Another possibility is to find an SE HD/FD version which supported the 1.44 mb 'superdrive'. Re bootup issues, I'd have probably done a clean install of the system on that SE from the install disks though I don't recall 7.5.5 being available on 800k floppy but could be wrong as I haven't parused the old apple archives in a while.
