UPDATE:

This morning I tried to boot my mac again. I was actually trying to test a system 6 boot disk that I have been trying to make for a while.

I tried it 3 times with a floppy. Each time, it booted as for a double flick startup, then it proceeded to read the disk. Then, I got this:

xx(

00000F

000001

The second time it booted, I think I briefly saw a :b&w: , but I'm not sure.

On the third try, my hard disk started clicking. That's one time in about 8-10 times sice trouble struck. I couldn't see if it would mount it, however, because I had my bad boot disk in the floppy drive, so insted I got the sad mac. I then, of course, tried it without the floppy, but the hard disk did is usual thing.

I'm not sure what the codes mean, and there was no chord sequence, but I don't suspect the sad mac to be a hardware fault, as it did not happen when I tried it without the floppy.

This is just an update, much help would be appreciated, as it is still not working properly.

P.S. If you could help me make my boot disk, that would be helpful too
