Hello.

I have a startup problem. The startup disk was changed to "network" and I have no network. Now I can't get my beige g3 to start from either hard drive or from cd. Nor can I force it to bypass the hard drives using the keyboard commands.

I have tried removing all of the peripherals, tried starting from both the os 9 and os 10 cds, removed the hard drives one at a time and tired to start, swore at it a little (ok a lot) and nothing is working. One hard drive has os 10 the other os 9.2.2. All I get is the start up sound and a black screen no matter what I try. Can you point me in the right direction? I'd be grateful!

Thanks,

Natalie
