Q: Boot System 7 from floppy disk

Hi everyone!

I'd like to buy a Macintosh plus on ebay but first I've got to work out something:

I want to be able to quickly swap systems (i.e. system 1, 3, 6, and possibly 7). I saw that "system disks" were available for System 1 so that you can directly boot from the floppy. But I can't find any equivalent for System 7. I have no idea why. Maybe Apple changed the name? (Disk tools, Tidbits ...). It seems to me that you can't boot from the floppy anymore on System 7 through 9. You can only INSTALL System 7. Am I wrong?

For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-Mac-System-7-Software-Manuals-Complete-i n-Box-3-5-Floppy-Disks-/271442454449?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f333b27b1

 

Every little helps, If you have a solution to my problem, please feel free to just post whatever your idea was

Thanks,
