dual boot 2 partition OSX works, but.... #129

relates to issue # 109

Meklort,
if was looking a lot for a problem on dualboot OSX.
Looking for the reason, why my second OSX partition will not boot.

And now I realized, that all the times I did try to boot, the Mini booted 
perfectly from the second
partition.
Reason why I didnt realize this:

the Boot-Disk icon is not on top of the desktop. (first row)

In my case, on top was the inactive partition icon, and the boot-disk icon on 
the second row.
(the initally and first installation partition is always on top, not important 
if its active or not)

This is not "Mac-like", and so I was confused.
(the second partition is a clone, identically and has the same dock icons)

Ok, so it works, only to say, the boot-disk should be above of the other disks.
Only cosmetic, but for completition of the list.

thanks
whxde

sorry,
I think this is OS related.
While installing 10.6 on a Mac I recognized the same. The boot-partition in not 
nessesarily
on the top. I was wonderung because on 10.4 this was different.
On 10.4 I had always the boot-partition on top.
I dont know, when this has changed.
Only to let you know.
