Since this morning, after having a crash with an incompatible Mac
application under A/UX 2.0 I am no longer able to launch the Finder under
A/UX.
The message I get is, that there is a minor problem with the disk '/'. When
I click 'OK', my Mac restarts after about 10 seconds without any hint of
what went wrong.
When I try to rebuilld the desktop files by holding down Command-Option it
takes a bit longer until the Mac reboots, however it doesn't work as well.
I had a look into the /mac/sys/System Folder. The file which was changed
most recently was the .fs_cache file. Is there something inconsistent within
this file?
All UNIX file systems are ok, I have run fsck more than once without any
problems reported.
Who can advice me in what to do? Which files should be replaced by what?
Any hint is appreciated!
Regards,
Thomas Lenggenhager

In the mean time I found the mistake myself.
The reason was not the crash of the program, but my previous renaming of the
file /mac/sys/System Folder/AppleShare to /mac/sys/System Folder/~AppleShare.
By renaming the file I wanted to load the AppleShare INIT as last INIT in the
row.
However A/UX doesn't like to have this file renamed to something else than it
was originally named. The renaming is perfectly ok under the MacOS.
A bit more detailed documentation about the process of starting up the Mac
environment under A/UX would probably help to understand what you can do and
what you should leave as it is in the initial configuration.

Thomas
