That is what I did.  Dumped a good, booted fine from the hard drive (Gold 
Vulcan), System  folder from the GS hard drive to the Mac via Appletalk (mapped 
the Mac's drive (which is named Blorp; one word no space) to the GS.  I have 
successfully booted 6.0.1 from the Mac by simply setting the bootfrom on ctl 
panel to slot 7,and slot 7 to Appletalk, having the Mac up 1st, letting 
Appleshare fully load THEN boot the IIgs... and being patient.  I usually go 
through at least 1 cup of coffee waiting for the boot.  Man that is slow!  Mac 
is running Appleshare 3.0.3 under system 7.5.5 with Apple II login turned on in 
administrator and all file shares open and active. Now, since I have 2 Apple 
IIe(s) with workstation card that ALSO boot from here it got sticky;  I used 
Appleshare's Administrator to set up 2 IDs: One ID called GSer boots P16 and 
loads 6.0.1,  the other IIee boots to ProDOS (which I have Sneeze loaded on) 
and comes up 8 bit.  Tooks some juggling to figure this one and a seperate 
startup folder specified depending on box.

btw on Sneeze above I have run into the  8X2 drive limit minus S6 and if you 
have a Liron card minus S5 (and in one IIe's case -S2 because I have a CMS SCSI 
on that one)  I have a Quadra 950 with a STACK of drives on it (I got a deal on 
old 1-2 GIG SCSI drives ;)  and when I attach to it I can only attach to a few 
drives at a time.
