SYS: in the Amiga is the logical name of whichever partition (or floppy)
you booted from.
It is not the same as the system drawer, which mainly contains font
utilities such as Intellifont. So the system drawer is SYS:system.
The prefs drawer is SYS:prefs.
Your SYS: happens to be called WB3.5, if that's the one you boot from.
In the early days when we couldn't boot from a hard drive, you had to
boot from a floppy and then assign SYS: to DH0:
