SE/30 Locks up at Finder start

[Nolen Scaife]

Hi everyone!  This is my first post to this list, so I'll give you a 
little background.  I'm a long-time Mac user and just recently got my 
hands on a Mac Plus (that looks like a 512) and an SE/30.  I'm working 
on the SE/30 first, just because it got the luck of the draw ;)

Anyway, the only disks I have for it are System 7.5 install disks.  I 
don't have any kind of other disks that are bootable in a classic Mac, 
and it's hard for me to make them since my G4 has no floppy :(  When I 
put in my Install Disk 1, I get a happy mac followed by the "Welcome to 
Macintosh."  It's when the screen clears and the menu bar appears like 
it's about to start the Finder that the machine just completely locks 
up.  No error message, no text on the screen (the menu bar is blank), 
no nothing.  The mouse quits moving, there's no disk activity, and 
it'll sit like that all day until I hit the power.

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.  Is there some issue that I'm not 
aware of?  Maybe bad RAM?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Nolen
