I did wonder about the ?CT1 volume/partition name in your photo of Get
Drive Info screen.

If you cannot catalog the first partition you certainly cannot boot
from it - the Apple IIc ROM can only boot from the first Smartport
device (which in the case of partitioned media is the first partition
of the first smart drive connected to the sytstem D-19F connector).

For example: a IIc<->UniDisk3.5<->Chinook daisy-chain would not allow
booting from the HDD while IIc<->Chinook<->UniDisk3.5 would prevent
booting from a 3.5" diskette.
