To boot OS4 from a partition which has not the highest
boot priority, you have to enter bootmenu twice to select
the partition, because the OS4 BootLoader does a soft reboot
after loading the OS4 kickstart.

Its possible to predefine the partition which OS4 will use
for loading the OS4 WB, see Documentation/Kickstart/BootLoader.doc.

no mention that PFS3 is only partially supported by OS4?

Partially supported? Until now I assumed PFS3 would not
support OS4 at all and cause a crash during boot.
Switch to SFS. There exists no official list of software
which is incompatible to OS4 yet.

When you are talking about a boot partition on an IDE drive
attached to the internal IDE port, then yes, the kickstart
ROM version of the IDE scsi.device is limited to 4GB, any
boot partition for any OS must be located completely inside
this limit as long as this device is used. Eventually its
even 2GB, dont remember ATM.
