Ok, it looks like the answer is: Seven partitions is one too many. Once I reduced the number to six everything worked. Very strange, but I'll take it. Now about my other question: Why does ADTPro only see my first two partitions and is there any way to fix that?
ADTPro will only "see" what 1) ProDOS reveals to it, and 2) a partition that has media in it (formatted for hard drives, unformatted or formatted for floppy drives).
You may not be seeing all of your partitions if you are booting from the ADTPro distribution disk because it contains ProDOS v1.9, the one that is/was freely available for download from Apple. In that environment, some disks may not be visible to it.
You may not be seeing all of your partitions if you are booting with '8' from GSOS if the hard drive partition hasn't been formatted yet. I'm not sure if there is a chicken+egg situation there or not; but GSOS should be able to detect and prepare the hard drive partitions the first time for you even if ADTPro can't.
