What should happen:
The system needs the disk System Tools 1, searches all the online disks 
and can't find it, so asks you to insert it. If you insert a 3.5" disk 
(or mount a disk image) the system detects the insertion and 
automatically checks that disk to see if it's the right one, you don't 
even need to click OK. Make sure you have the Disks window (under the 
Windows menu item) open too. This shows all the disks that are inserted.

That wont matter. The name of the disk image file and the disk itself 
are completely seperate.

To make sure the disk is OK, try this:
Start Bernie using just the disk called Systsem Disk. This is a boot 
disk which will take you into the Finder. You should see one disk on the 
desktop called System.Disk, now mount the other disks and watch to see 
if they appear on the desktop.
