GS/OS, to the best of my memory, only creates a boot block for the first
partition.  I supose that if the RamFAST partitioned/formatted the drive
it may have already made boot blocks for all partitions it formatted.

Use a block editor and read in block 0 on your boot volume (slot 7, drive 1
if the RF was installed in that slot).  The slot/drive is in reference to P8.
If by some strange chance you have a GS/OS block editor it will then be
device #1 (if you did boot off of the hard drive).  Confused?  I am!

Anyway, write that block 0 to block 0 on all the other partitions.  If you
have no idea what a block editor is, don't even try this!
