You need to install both P8 and GS/OS in /HARD1 because GS/OS can't
boot from any partition except the first.

First, install GS/OS into /HARD1
Second, go to the root directory of /HARD1 in BASIC and type:
	rename prodos,gsboot

Third, install P8 by copying PRODOS and BASIC.SYSTEM from
a ProDOS (non-GS/OS) boot disk.

Forth and last, type the following program:

10 ? CHR$(4);"-gsboot"

and save the program by typing:

SAVE STARTUP

Now reboot.  That should do it.
