Boot System 6.0.1 on a Zip 250 disk from floppy?

["Kathleen Hartz" <PHartz@columbus.rr.com>]

My trusty 250 meg SCSI hasd drive just died and  I can't find a drive that
small to replace it.  Figured I would just use my backup of my startup
volume on the Zip Drive and run System 6 from there.  But I can't boot
directly from the Zip drive......?
I think I read where one can create a simple floppy boot disk to then boot
GSOS on the Zip?
Here is what I tried:  1) copy Prodos and Basic system to a floppy drive.
2) create and save basic file named 'Startup' onto that same disk.
10 PRINT CHR$(4)"-/Iomega.A/Prodos"
20 END
save Startup

However , when I boot the thus created Startup disk I get a message
something like " Can not load Startup GSOS file "      and the dreaded
swooping cursor.

Can someone help?
or shoud I go with a CF card instead of a used hard drive?
Or will the Zip drive suffice?
