Same thing happened to me on a IIcx, 5Meg, 6.0.4 system, 6.1b9 Multifinder.
I had a feeling it might be INIT CDEV causing the problem. The reason I say
this is that just prior to the ICON showing up with the slash I had used INIT
CDEV to disable boomerang. I only got two days of use out of it. If it
works, it would be worth it, but this is not fun, I may just go back to HFS
Navigator.
