I'm using the Drive Setup utility (v.7.3.5) on the Mac OS 7.6 boot/install disk to partition the drive. When I partition the drive, I am only given the "Mac volume" option once– when there is no preexisting "Mac volume" partition.
What there is is "Additional Mac Volume". When I create one of these partitions, it automatically bumps down to the "bottom" of the partition table. Because of this, my partitions were Mac volume, ProDOS volume, (additional) Mac volume.
What I didn't notice before is a button called "Group". That might shift the additional Mac volume up the partition table, so that the partitions are in the order you described. [update: Well that did it. It'll take a while to determine whether that'll fix the problem, though.]
The System 7.5.x System Folder had the typical System Folder icon, so I assume it was blessed. Where can I find this "System Switcher"?
