Is your partition mapped to slot 7? Is the software set to boot off
the partition's slot, specifically? Will PR#x (x=the slot your
partition is mapped to) boot the partition?

Shut off sound? I assume it switches you to 16 colors automatically?
Do you have anything hungry running in the background? Do you have
sufficient memory available?

Hmmm. Maybe MacADT would allow you to send a disk to yourself? You'd
need a cable going from one serial port to the other, I think. MacADT
is in ftp.apple.asimov.net in either the incoming directory or the
utilities one. You may have a better chance with senddisk or asimov,
also in the utilities folder at asimov.
