Partially inspired by this discussion, I turned my Mac II with
original Apple 40 meg internal drive (Quantum system) on its
side.  Everything went well at first, but the second time I
booted the computer, I got a "Finder is damaged" message and
had to use the programmer's switch to reboot.  I started it
from a floppy, and everything acted normal (except it
took a while to rebuild the desktop) and has continued to be
normal since then.  I don't have any trouble booting from the
HD.

Any clues what might have caused this and is this a sign of
bad things to come?
