Sullivan) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: HD Can't be found on Floopy Boot Keywords: MAC II HD BOOT Message-ID: <1098@cadre.dsl.PITTSBURGH.EDU> Date: 29 Mar 88 01:24:27 GMT Organization: Decision Systems Lab., Univ. of Pittsburgh, PA. Lines: 16 I've got the dsamndest problem with my Mac II or CMS Pro60-IIi. Whenever I boot from a floopy after a crash, the CMS will not be recognized by the finder. It does not come up under the finder, but if I run the util given with the CMS, it finds the drive and can read off data from it (DRIVE VOL DASTA and USAGE MAP). After a while, if I keep rebooting the machine, it may come up, but ths time it's taking too long. The problem is that I am tesating an INIT, and, like a dope, I put it in my HD tartup. Well, it crashes. So I get boot on my HD thru to the INIT, where it crashes. But I can't get it to mount if I boot from floppy so I can't remove the INIT from my HD system file.
