Ignoring Startup Disk CP for the moment, can you boot at all? That is, reach the desktop with all volumes mounted and the Mac booted into whatever System is on the first partition? Is the lowest-numbered/preferred/only System on the first (visible) partition?
Do I understand you correctly to be saying that you cannot deselect all volumes by clicking within the CP but not on any volume? If this latter is true, you need to reinstall the CP. If you have TomeViewer 1.3d.3 you can extract just that CP from the Install CD and write it directly to System Folder/Control Panels from the relevant Tome on the Install CD.
