Hi again!
I've just installed system 7.5.3 on a Macintosh emulator. I've got it set up with 7.1 in one system folder and 7.5 in another (both on the same disk). I was planning on using System Picker or System Switcher to choose between the folders.
It all works fine, but annoyingly enough both utilities are applications, so I have to boot the emulator, choose my system, then reboot again with the correct one, which is rather tedious 🙁 . Rather, I would prefer something which lets me choose the system at startup time.
Is there something like this available?
Thanks,
onlyonemac

You could always just use two different images and two different emulator configurations. Do you use basilisk? On Linux? Then copy the file ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs to ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs2. Open the file and change the "disk" option to the right image.
Then boot like that:
BasiliskII --config ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs Or, for thew other configuration:
BasiliskII --config ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs2 Or just give the disk option directly:
BasiliskII --disk /home/karsten/68k/mac_os8.1de.img or
BasiliskII --disk /home/karsten/68k/mac_os7.5de.img I don't know any software that could do it like grub or so.

I use Basilisk II on windows, but I find it a pain to recongfiure all the time. I would prefer to do it the "proper" way.
