I have just finished installing my new hard drive (a Seagate ~46Meg)
along with my new Apple High Speed SCSI card.  I have a question about
installing sytem files on it:

How can I set it up so I can boot from the hard drive?

I tried install and simply copying my sytem disk onto the top level
directory in one partition of the hard drive (I partitioned it into 23M
and 24M sections), but this did not work.  When I tried to boot from
slot 7 (where I put the SCSI card) the 'welcome to the IIgs' message
would show up and the red line would cruise along to the end of the
lined, but no files were loaded (I could tell this by pressing space
while it booted).

Also, if I booted from my sytem disk and ran ProDos from my hard drive,
I would get a fatal system error #308 (I believe).

(ROM 01, system 5.0.2, I have an AE GSRamPlus in there too . . .)

Sorry for a long description, but I hope someone can tell me what to do.
