Um. You still have Command-Option-O-F, which will get you to an OF prompt,
at which point you can do 'boot hd:13,\\:tbxi' (change 13 to whatever the
partition number of your Apple_Bootstrap partition is) to tell OF where
specifically to boot from. Yes, if the XPRAM is wiped, OF will just start
at the first partition and look for the "magic" creator ID ('tbxi') and
boot the first one it finds, but that doesn't stop you from telling it to
do something else.

Move partitions? What do you mean by that? If you mean having them
anyplace you want on disk, that's what I just said, isn't it? :)
