	I've done it as a test on my Powerbook 540c and my IIcx. Actually,
I think there is mention of it in the HOWTO's, though I may be just making
that up ;-)
	
	Pretty simple. Get things set up how you want it, including the
Booter and its options. Then, go into the System Folder and change the
Finder's name to something else, and rename the Booter to Finder, and give
it the same Creator/File Type (with ResEdit or Snitch or some other
utility that will allow you to change these) I can't remember the Creator
ID off-hand...

	Anyhow, the next time you boot, when normally the Finder would be
loaded, the "new" Finder - the Booter - will be loaded, and voila, boot
;-)

	I don't remember any problems with it. But, to change any
settings, of course I had to boot with a Disk Tools disk, or catch the
boot before it booted fully (I set a 5 second delay, in case)

	Good luck!

	Ryan
