[comp.sys.mac.programmer] SADE Multifinder won't boot

cc100aa@prism.gatech.EDU (Ray Spalding) (12/06/90)

I'm attempting to install the SADE 1.2b1 prerelease from the E.T.O.#1
CD.  It includes a Multifinder 6.1b9 that needs to be installed with
it.  When I attempt to boot up with that Multifinder in the system
folder, I crash soon after the desktop pattern appears.  Macsbug
reports a Bus Error at _StripAddress+0E54.  (Running a Mac IIfx, system
6.0.7).  Can anyone help?

In article <18176@hydra.gatech.EDU> I write that I get a bus error
booting with Multifinder 6.1b9.

Thanx to:

 "Phil Shapiro" <phils@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>
for providing the solution.

The problem was an apparently corrupt "AppleShare Prep" file.  Booting
with the AppleShare init disabled (via "init-cdev") circumvented the
problem.  Removing "AppleShare Prep" fixed the problem for good.
