Even if it's not visible from within A/UX, you should at least be able to restart into the System 7.0.1 MacPartition and change the Startup Disk from there (I agree that a drive larger than 2 GB or formatted with a 3rd-party tool w/ its own driver like FWB might not mount in A/UX).
Now, if you want to boot into an HFS+ partition (7.5.5 and up), it probably won't show up under 7.0.1 either; in that case, hold Shift-Ctrl-Opt+<SCSI ID #> before boot chime to force it before an old OS cuts in line.
I had no problems with A/UX on my SE/30 seeing other Mac OS drives but my Q950 was blind to them. I did as above (booting twice - once onto MacPartition, and again after changing the startup disk).
EVEN IF if you were able to see the other drives in A/UX, I found its Startup Disk applet can't be trusted. I was much better off using "System Picker" to switch back and forth.
Whew! This is hard stuff... but once you get things working and tweaked the way you want, you shouldn't have to touch it (and SCSI2SD makes it so easy to make backups)
