    Boot up without CD?

    Well I know that and apparently you know that : ] But like I said, I'm just assuming that you know absolutely nothing about Macs and having you shut down completely before resetting PRAM or booting into Open Firmware is just to ensure that you get it right the first time : ] Again... no...
