I don't know what your problem is.  Removable media will boot whatever
OS they happen to contain.  Fixed media are definitely better off with
ProDOS.  Both my hard disks are set up as ProDOS file systems.  ProDOS
is so much closer to a real OS than DOS 3.3 that I virtually never use
DOS 3.3 (except when booting some old stand-alone disk built with DOS).
