You need the *new* boot blocks.  There are two easy ways to do this:
use the Installer and associated scripts which are part of Sys 6.0
release;  or drag System/Finder as you did, but *only* after booting
with the new System.  The first is probably easiest, unless you don't
have a hard drive or a second drive - then you will probably get a
lot of wrist exercise :-)
