[comp.sys.mac] HD Can't be found on Floopy Boot

jas@cadre.dsl.PITTSBURGH.EDU (Jeffrey A. Sullivan) (03/29/88)

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.

HELP!
