hi guys... long-time listner, first-time caller... :)

recently installed 1.2 on my girlfriend's IIsi, which went without a
hitch, so i then installed it *again* onto a partition of a syquest EZ135,
in the hopes of taking that disk over to a couple of other old macs i have
at the labs, and booting them up... the IIsi boots great from this setup.

two questions:

when i boot from the macos partition on the syquest, then run the booter,
it does the "so i sez to him..." thing, then unmounts all the drives,
which makes the syquest SPIT OUT it's cartridge.  is there anyway to do a
remount of things so that doesn't happen?  as it stands, i have to be
sitting there, to flip the "drive lock" lever back down, so it can remount
the removable really quick.

the other one:  i'm trying to make this cartridge boot an LCII and/or a
MacII with the 68851 ... did the mac-side utilities note that i was
installing on IIsi originally, and only put glue in for those roms?  the
LCII freezes at "so i sez to him..." , and well, the macII has mangled
ram, so i haven't gotten that far yet.

thanks for any help...
