be delivered: 
 
I saw your message on comp.sys.mac, and had a similar problem, though I
NEVER used Textures. I never really found out what the culprit was, but
the problem was fixed when I replaced the System file. It has somehow
gotten corrupted. In fact, I too was running boomerang, but that's the
only similarities between our problems (and Mac setups, actually).
 
I would try trashing the System file (or at least boot from a floppy)
and see if the problem goes away.
 
Or, if that doesn't work, copy the files that don't appear onto a floppy and
try reading them on a different machine. That way, you can isolate the
problem. BTW, if you try booting from a floppy, make sure to run an application
off that floppy as well, because otherwise-if you try to run an application
from the hard drive, the HD's system will become active and you won't be able
to tell anything.
 
Sorry I couldn't find the problem, but hopefully I've suggested a cure.
 
Good luck,
