    I ran across an accident waiting to happen in my system file a few 
minutes ago (unfortunately). I had just installed system 6.0 in my Mac II,
and I dragged the Vaccine CDEV to my system folder. I opened the control
panel to configure it so that the init part of it would take effect when I
rebooted. It was at this point that my system died. I hit the programmers
switch to reboot, but no dice -- it would not boot off of the hard drive.

  I booted off of a floppy, and tried to open my system file with Resedit.
I got an error message that indicated that the resource map was corrupted.


  I re-tried the above procedure on a floppy, but I substituted the Moire CDEV
-- the result was the same.

I have two questions.

	1. Is there any way to rebuild the resource map for my system file ?

	2. Is this type of occurrence something that should happen, or is it
	   a problem in 6.0. If you dont reboot the system after installing
	   a combination init/CDEV, it trashes your system.


Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.
