- I've recently had the following problem: I had 2 hard drive, each
- with 3 partitions, and each with a System on its first partition.
- I'd been booting off the 2cond hard drive( the first and 2cond were
- terminated). When I removed the 2cond hard drive, the computer no
- longer recognized the first partition of the first hard drive. It
- kept changing the name(after asking) of the 32meg partition to the
- name of the floppy which I booted from. It then became an 800k
- partion, although it was still 32meg's ( I could tell via another
- means).
-
- I thought I had the problem solved, but the same thing happened after
- I had been using AppleShare and then reconfigured the system for non
- Appletalk use. The message which came up on the screen was very odd with
- yes, no, cancel, etc...options after which selecting any one of them
- crashed the system into the monitor. I then booted from a floppy and all
- was back to normal.
-
- I'm using a ROM03, HS Apple SCSI, GCC 80 meg Quantum, 4 megs+1, Appletalk'd
- to a Mac+printer, System 6.0 on the GS, 7.1.1 on the Mac. Do you need to
- erase some hidden configuration file after changing the peripherals of the
- system?
-
- It's not a SCSI termination problem.
-
- Can one safely delete the set boot CDEV? Anything that seems to fiddle with
- booting always ends up causing me problems.
-
- Thank's...
