The only setings file I could see was "BootX Settings" in the Preferences
Folder. It is possible that BootX stores some information in its resource
fork - but if you re-install BootX and it still boots the old system then
that's not the answer. You could try clearing all the settings in BootX
and then saving those preferences. At least this should stop the old
system from booting.
