I want to have my hard drive equipped GS boot into ProDOS 8 and run
a simple program selector (I'm using Bird's Better Bye), but I want
to be able to launch GSOS easily on demand.  I installed GSOS 5.0
and it works fine if I boot straight into it, but if I rename ProDOS
to GSOS and then put ProDOS 8 on the drive and boot that way, it
doesn't work when I select GSOS from the selector.  GSOS starts
loading and gets to the desktop where it beeps and then hangs.  This
approach worked fine with the old ProDOS 16.
 
Is anybody out there succesfully booting into ProDOS 8 and then
running GSOS from a selector?
