| Sad Mac error code on SE/30 with SCSI2SD |
Posted by: musicfan77 on 2019-04-01 11:19:52
OK I hope I haven't screwed anything up too bad.
I have an SE/30 with a ROM-inator II, running 7.5.5 in 32-bit mode. The HD has been replaced with a SCSI2SD (partitioned into three drives, 7.1, 7.5.3 and 7.5.5 but I primarily use the 7.5.5 one). Last night I was trying to futz around with files on the SCSI2SD (because the floppy drive is currently on the fritz) and I removed the SD card, popped it into my SD reader...then I had second thoughts and determined that I had better not touch anything. I have a FloppyEmu for this purpose anyway.
So I went ahead and stuck the card back in the SCSI2SD. When I went to reboot, I saw the Rominator startup screen (asking me if I wanted to boot from ROM or RAM) but when the boot process continued, I got the Sad Mac face with the following error code:
0000000F
00007FFF
(I took a pic but it's very blurry so probably wouldn't help)
Doing a cursory search, it seems like there might be trouble accessing the boot drive on the SCSI2SD?
Does anyone have any recommendations for me to try? Is it possible that I screwed something up by putting the SD card into my modern machine/reader? Could I possibly boot into the Rominator's ROM and run some utilities or something? I'm a little scared to keep trying--this machine can be a little finicky in the best of situations, but I've never seen the Sad Mac face before.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Well since I know you are all very concerned, just following up to say that I answered my own question: booted into ROM (thanks, Rominator!) and ran Norton Utilities, which claimed to patch up a few things and then I was able to reboot into the correct system folder.
Now, a forum etiquette question: should I delete this thread or is there any value in leaving this up for someone's future reference maybe?

I consider it useful because you presented a problem and its solution. It's worthwhile for other SE/30 owners who may have a SCSI2SD.

Since when can we delete threads?

Since when can we delete threads? I think it's a feature available only to those who have 13 or fewer posts. ;-) I certainly don't have that power, nor do I have the ability to edit my posts a few hours after posting -- and boy do I wish I had THAT power!

LOL ok, you got me. Thanks for helping a n00b get up to speed here 🙂
