I installed the full 5.04 system onto the 2cond partition of my hard drive.
Now, this partition was created using the Apple High Speed card. Does that

each partition (not clear!).

But installing the system will...so why won't it work? The space bar will
boot the floppy. Holding down 0 gets you into the menu and you can even
order it to boot a certain partion. Doing that yields can't load prodos.
