This will happen if you uncheck the "Use RAM disk" in the
configuration dialog box.  In order to get it reset properly,
hold down the mouse button immediatly after double clicking (launching)
the Macboot application. When the configuration box appears, make
sure the "Use RAM disk" item is checked.  If not, check it and click Ok.
This may get yuou back on your way.
