You have to "bless" it - the Sytem Folder. The folder then displays a
Mac ikon. Otherwise it has a generic ikon(Pogue&Schorr, Mac and PowerMac
Secrets 3. ed, page 933).

And on a pre-system 7 installation you shouldn't have more than one
System Folder on the same disk (Pogue&Schorr, page189). And the Startup
Disk control panel - if you are trying to use that - doesn't work on a
Mac Plus. It's PRAM memory isn't big enough (Pogue&Schorr, page 192).
