     Try booting some GS System from diskette and moving EasyMount out of your
hard disk System/System.Setup/ folder (like to some folder named "Temp" in the
boot volume main directory).  Or, delete EasyMount.

     You may need to delete "Desktop"-- it could be corrupted-- from your boot
volume main directory Icons/ folder. (Desktop will be rebuilt as necessary by
System 6.0.1.)

     How much memory do you have installed? You may need to have a 4MB board
installed in your Expansion Memory Slot to boot System 6.0.1 from hard disk
(because Sys601 from hard disk is likely to be a full install-- needs more mem
for all of those Control Panels, Desk Accessories, etc.).
