2) Move the cursor to the SYSTEM column of the partition
you want to resize.
3) Press <return>.
4) Use the arrow keys or I, J, K, M keys to toggle through
the system options until you reach the desired system.
5) Press <return>.
6) Changing systems automatically turns off that partition
so turn on the partition if you want it active.
After you’ve selected a system, you’ll still need to format the
partition by using the FORMAT option before you can actually
use the partition for file storage and booting.
Selecting the Boot Partition
The boot flag tells the computer which partition to go to at
startup.
Booting Rules
When selecting a boot partition keep the following rules in
mind:
◊
You can have only one partition set to boot.
◊
The partition you set to boot can be any of the four
operating systems.
◊
The boot partition does not have to be the first partition
of that operating system.
◊
The boot partition must have the boot files required for
that system copied into the partition.
◊
Under DOS 3.3, the first volume of the boot partition
must contain the boot files.
IIGS Only
◊
To boot from a Vulcan partition, you’ll need to have the
Startup Slot set to the slot containing the Vulcan’s
controller card or to slot 7 if you’re pseudo-slotting the
card. (Refer to Ch. 1, Slot 7 Exception, for information
about pseudo-slotting.)
◊
If you do not set the Startup Slot to the Vulcan’s drive,
the computer will ignore the Partition Manager’s boot
flag.
