Hi I have a SE/30 with a 105 MB internal HD.  It just did something really
flakey...I turned it on and up came the ? disk...I stared at this with
disbelief for a while and then hit the reboot button...the same thing came up
but about ten seconds later, it booted up okay ala smiley mac.  I then rebooted
again, and it was okay.

So my question is this: What happened?  Is this signs of something worse to
come?  Any suggestions?

If it matters, the drive is a Quantum, I am running 6.0.4 with Multifinder
6.1b9 with 5 MB of RAM

Thanks in advance...please email responses since I think this is a pretty
specific problem.
