Thanks to the group's encouragement I continued to look for a way of
getting the Jaz drive to act as a boot disk and I have found the solution. 
It seems to be bug in System 7.6.  I decided to re-install the system,
after various other failed options, and then noticed that the CD held
System 7.6 and not the upgrade.  I had forgotten that I had downloaded the
upgrade to 7.6.1 (getting so used to having the system on CD these days)
and once I upgraded the Jaz drive worked perfectly as the boot disk.

Cmd-opt-shift-del (under system 7.6) BTW disables some extensions and tries
to re-build the disk file.  Works as Peter said under 7.6.1.
