Oh, I thought that to boot from a hard drive, the SCSI card would need to be
in slot #7 -so that the system sees it first, rather than the floppy drive
on slot #6. There I go assuming again.

However, even though the hard drive is formatted for ProDos 8 (version 1.9)
it doesn't boot, and when I catalog the first HD volume, there aren't any
files there. Is there a command like SYS C: (MSDos) for ProDos, or should I
just copy individual files to the HD from a bootable ProDos 8 disk?
