Ok, let me clarify. I have a disk labelled "GS/OS boot disk", and it has
several files related to the OS on it, a finder folder and the like. In my
understanding, a "system disk" would be the disk that allows you to install
the OS from it (the specific disk distributed by Apple w/ system software).
Thus, I'm trying to figure out if this disk IS the system disk.
