What I've seen indicates that your boot partition cannot be HFS+.  I've
seen nothing definite about other partitions being HFS+, but there seems
to be some consensus that it should work (else I wouldn't have tried it ;-).

In essence what I did is:
  copied all partitions onto CDROMs
  reformatted with 8.1 Apple Disk utility, making two HFS partitions
  converted the second partition to HFS+ with PlusMaker/PlusMaximizer
  copied the CDROMs back to the disk

The system will boot from this disk, though the System Folder doesn't
have the 'blessed' icon on it.  After I get the next snapshot out, I'll
do a clean install so I have a proper system, and see if that works
better.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

President Thieu says he'll quit if he doesn't get more than 50% of the
vote.  In a democracy, that's not called quitting.
