I tried the official 2.0 boomerang, and had troubles with crashes. into the trash
it went, and I tried defaultD, which seemed much more bug free.

once I got shortcut, it was easy to discard dfaultd as well. so far no crashes from it,
and no collisions with other init/cdevs.
I find it very easy to use... command-# keys to pop to volumes, you can option-menu and cmd-menu
to directly access volume and file menus. and it lets you sort / move the order
of things on the menu.

(I am using system 6.0.4)
