Is it possible to change the blessed folder on a disk? I'm dreaming of
getting a HD, and would like to be able to start up different configurations--
a System with Trap Timer and MacsBug for program development, one with JClock
and FKey Manager stuff for everyday use, and a vanilla System for Smalltalk
where I can't afford throwing away memory to MacsBug and I don't want VBlank
processes writing on my screen.
I know that I can just boot off a floppy with an alternate system and
double-click to a HD application, or do lots of extraneous copying to
change the file with which the boot blocks are associated, but is there a way
to (1) change the blessed folder without extraneous copying, or (2) restart
the system from scratch from a given System file?
