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...
