   Download and install Eric Shepherd's 'ProBoot'
(http://www.sheppyware.ml.org/gsos/index.html is the preferred site).
With that installed on your HD, holding down open apple on boot pulls
up a menu allowing you to boot off any other drive.

   That program is by the same person who ported Wolf 3D to the GS,
and had many harsh words with rubywanker here over an OS bug,
rubywanker's inability to follow simple directions like "email the
author first if there's a problem, don't assume csa2 is populated by
programmers after pirated like rubywanker and such ilk have turned it
into a wasteland." Support legitimate Apple II programmers, and get
rid of the pirating jerks who want the programmers gone.
