   Just the minor bit of missing the step where you figure out that
you-know-who forgot to program in support for such things into the
Finder. It's not a bug, it's a feature, some might try and come up
with excuses...

   You can rearrange the order of disks *slightly* in the Finder
depending on what order the drivers are listed (not in the Finder's
listings, but in a real, unsorted, list). Your boot device is always
in the top-right, then disks by driver (and device/partition within a
driver). Use ProSEL or some other catalog resorters (NOT Copy ][+,
unless you want to corrupt the HD) to rearrange driver order more to
your liking.
