Boot from OS3.1 from a drawer

I need to figure out how to boot from a OS3.1 drawer for more compatible WHDLoad and games and demos. I have OS3.9 and OS4.1 installed. Want to set this up on a PPC 4000T, 1200 060, and an A1200 with only 8mb ram and CF.

If that is possible, does anyone have the modified Startup-Sequence for such a thing or can someone give any advice?

@Ancalimon

Fancy use of Assign is your firend.
Assign sys: sys:os31
could work i believe, read this post and ignore ADD.

Couldn't care less what other people think, seeing that there's concrete evidence they don't.

@mike

You will need to add a few more Assign commands.

It should look something like this:

Assign >NIL: Sys: OS3.1
Assign >NIL: C: Sys:C
Assign >NIL: S: Sys:S
Assign >NIL: L: Sys:L
Assign >NIL: Devs: Sys:Devs
Assign >NIL: Libs: Sys:Libs
Assign >NIL: Fonts: Sys:Fonts

@Ancalimon

They are assigned to the OS3.1 folder. You can use another script to switch it back to the stock, boot assigns.
