Howzit!
Got another GS/OS system disk v5.0 problem. First, I am running it from a 1024K /ram5. The only way I could even get it to run from here was to format the ramdisk with the Finder, then use the installer to move all the system files to the ramdisk.
Then I transfered ALL my cda/nda's (I LIKE this :) ) to the desk.accs folder. I did NOT xfer any icon files though (having read of possible probs).
Now the problem. After running a P8 application (anything) and exiting, the Finder starts to run, but then crashes with a:
"Finder icon files can't be found.
Error number $/0002"
Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong and how to fix it?
Mahalo in advance, Jackdlyons@Apple.COM (David Lyons) (08/09/89)

(I'm assuming you can reboot without losing the RAMdisk entirely, which I don't actually know.) And this *doesn't* happen when you launch a 16-bit application and return to the Finder? Is your RAMdisk "slinky" type, or is it memory-based so that files on the RAMdisk could be damaged if some code stomps on memory it doesn't own? Have you tried removing some/all of your NDAs? (DAs do get control briefly when you enter or exit a 16-bit app that supports NDAs, and when you switch between GS/OS and P8, so there's the opportunity for them to mess up memory by accident, including your RAMdisk if it's in the main memory map.) --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

Yes, the Icons files are still there, and I am using a 1.5meg GS-Ram
card from AE that does not reset when I hot-start it. And this does not
happen with a 16-bit application...
Got me lost... Latas, Jack
