My internal panic light is flashing "alert - alert". What if you have
a RamFast installed and wish to boot from the 8th partition in your
RamFast list???? This will obviously conflict with GS/OS and finder
correct?

For those of you that aren't aware, by holding down the number key at
boot time, the ramfast automatically boots a different partition. This
allows you to have many different operating systems setup that each
boot and do different things.
