	I partitioned my hard disk (Rodime 100MB). I put System 5.0 on the
first partition and 6.0.2 on the second.  What is the correct way to let my
Mac boot from the second partition?  I tried the "Startup Device" from the
Control Panel, selecting the second partition then closing "Startup Device".
Regardless what I did, my Mac always booted from the first partition.  The
only way I can do is to change the name of System to something else on the
first partition, then my Mac would boot from the second partition.
