HELP!! GS/OS 6.0.1 failure!



ARGHS!!

Last night before I went to bed, I quit AnsiTERM 2.12, and shut off my
monitor before the Finder came back up.

This morning when I got up, instead of the familiar Finder, I had an error
message about an infinite loop while walking the icon list.

I restarted.  The system crashed during startup with a GS/OS error $47 or
something like that.

I restarted, this time holding <SHIFT>.  The system appeared to hang.

I don't remember what all else I did, but as it now stands, when I try to
boot, I get this GS/OS system error, and when I try to shift-boot, I get a
message that the Finder requires GS/OS 6.0.1 and 300k of memory (which I
have; it's a 5.25Mb system).

I am able to restart using a floppy (actually I am using a Prosel-16 disk)
and I can see all the hard drive partitions.

Any suggestions?  I am about ready to reinstall GS/OS, but some parts of
the OS are patched to allow for unusual filenames, and I can't remember
which files are patched (I think it's just P8 and BASIC.SYSTEM and
PRO.FST, but I am not certain...)

I'm really really really in trouble here...it's my primary machine...
