[comp.sys.mac.system] fmap Wierdness

I seem to be having a little problem with editing the new fmap resource
in the finder.  If I edit one of the two existing fmaps everything works
fine.  For instance, I changed the first one [TEXTttxt] to [TEXTALFA]. 
BUT, if I insert a new string (making sure to leave the last 4 bytes 
as zeros) there are problems.  When I restart my machine, the little disk
w/question mark pops up, telling me I have no valid startup disk.  When
I go back and edit the finder and remove the string I inserted, everything
works fine again.  Are we limited to only 2 fmap strings? Or am I screwing
up somewhere?
