I have a freezing Mac mystery problem of a differnt sort.... We have a building
wide atalk net with one zone hanging off the backbone, we also have just instal
led a fastpath4 on the backbone.  This morning almost all the macs (those on th
e backbone and those across the bridge) started to boot up, but then froze and
wouldn't finish booting.  I could boot from a floppy (bare system, no inits).
After trying various things I discovered if I replaced the appleshare files in
the system folder the mac would boot okay.  Any ideas about what might be going
 on ?
