Font Access in Panorama Lost in Bootable Image

[Elon Close]

I believe this emphasizes the point. A disk bought for a Mac,  
advertised for a Mac as bootable, and cloned to from a running  
bootable system, may be on the list, preferences, of HDs from wish  
one can choose for the startup HD. And it may function quite well  
with Restart. But a dead start boot with that HD chosen can simply  
fail, period. And this is with no user partitions.

So, if one really expects to boot from the HD, it is best to prove  
that in a way that does not leave one hanging with no way to boot the  
Mac. Some of these issues can be generic to the particular Mac, when  
it was made, etc. which may be my case.
