Many thanks to Peter, Paul, Rebecca & Rowland for their contributions.  You
all give me hope, despite seeing somewhere on one of my newsgroups that
there was a problem with booting from an external HD.  I'll experiment some
more but here are answer to your queries.

I formatted and intitialiised the Jaz cartridge and installed 7.6.1 from
the CD.  I selected the cartridge as the start-up disk from the control
panel on the 7200/90 and checked that this was recognised on the Jaz
cartridge system.  I shut down both the 7200/90 and the Jaz.  Re-started
the Jaz drive; inserted the cartridge and waited for it to spin up;
re-started the 7200/90.  Result: the 7200/90 hung at the Happy Mac symbol. 
This happened twice, at which point I remembered (?) a thread somewhere
about external HD troubles. 

I am ready to include my memory in the user error category and will try the
key sequence start-up and re-naming the 7200/90 folder etc. My reason for
wishing to use the Jaz as a start up is that my scanning work is requiring
enormous scratch pads which the 500Mb internal HD no longer has space for. 
So I installed Photoshop with its own system on the external cartridge as a
"scanner/ imaging platform".
