  I have 2 HD's. On each HD, I placed system folder, one for US OS and
one for Japanese OS. By switching a startup device by Control Panel, I
can select a Macintosh enviroment.

  In this case, I used SuitCaseII. I placed font and DA folder in the
internal HD and both system's SuitCase refer this folder. So I got
same font and DA on each OS environment.

 BUT, recently, I have re-formatted HD's with 3 partitions by MicorNet
formatter (my HD's are MicroNet one).

  Then, SuitCase II on the external HD doens't load any font/DA at
startup. Still I can load any font/DA after booting. But once reboot,
SuitCase forget them at all.
  Of course, SuitCase on the internal HD still loads everything. At
now, font/DA folders are placed in the same partition with system
folder of internal HD.

  my configuration is:

	SE/30
	100MB internal HD	MicroNet (conner) SCSI #0
	100MB external HD	MicroNet (conner) SCSI #1
		formatter version 4.0M

  Why can  SuitCase load stuffs from another HD which has one
partition, but not from another HD which is partitioned ?
Is it MicroNet formatter's problem? or the specification of Mac OS?
