	WHY can't the partition names be changed?  The default ones are the
pits if you're used to the traditional DHx: names (or if you HATE underscores)!

	Well, we NewZapped KickStart and it didn't help.  The CheckSum didn't
seem (that we could tell) enter into it.  We finally used HDToolBox to rename
the partitions.  Which worked, until we Cold Booted.
	When we Cold Booted the monster, the StartUp Shell (it was nice to find
that it IS a SHELL) barfed with an "Unknow command 'run'" message.  And sure
enough, the 2.0 system disks DON'T have a 'run' command in the C directory.  But
the partition names did stay changed, and the boot 2.0 partition did seem to
mount.

QUESTIONS:
	Where is the 'run' command for 2.0?  Is it built into the Shell?
	Why did changing the PARTITION names cause AmigaDOS not to find 'run'?
