There has to be one other.  Here is the scenereo(?):

Boot with your favorite workbench disk.  Have a copy of workbench in df1:
^D out of the Startup-Sequence.
Assign everything: otherworkbench:
Type "cd otherworkbench:"
Eject the boot disk.
Type "assign", notice there are no references to the boot disk.
Type "loadwb".
You will be requested for the boot disk.

What is it getting off that disk?  What still points to the disk?

I bet all you hard disk manufactures out there have already asked this question!
