I wrote both FaceLift and Facade.  FaceLift only worked at boot time, 
putting the new icon directly into the driver's storage area.  Facade is 
dynamic, and works by giving the requestor of the icon a different one if 
the name of the volume matches one in its dictionary.

Alex was right about using ResEdit.  Change the names of the ICN# 
resources in the FacadeIcons file to match the volumes whose icons you 
wish to replace.  If you don't have version 1.0b5 or later, the icons will 
be in Facade itself.  I'll be posting vers 1.0 to comp.binaries.mac in a 
few days.

Hope this helps.
