	Did you try any 16-Bit copy programs.  Since Copy II+ cannot copy
forked files, none of the CDEVs or SYS.RESOURCES would have been copied.  I
know these files are not essential to the boot process but it may have
something to do with it. 
	How large is your machine RAM anyway?  A nice fast hard drive would
seem to be much better than all of this RAM copy contortioning.  I have
a 30 Meg Ehman with an Apple Rev 'C' card and it works wonderfully.
