i just bought a refurbished g3 ibook (dual usb). i am having sound problems, and someone on another board suggested i try to boot into os 9 to see if the sound worked there.
preface: os x 10.2.8 has been working (just no sound).
i switch the boot to os 9 (9.2.2 i believe).
now when i power up, i briefly get a mac icon and then it goes to a floppy disk icon with a flashing "?" in the middle of it. this stays on screen for a bit and then the laptop turns off.
how can i get back to the os x boot? i am used to windows so i tried hitting the function keys while powering up, but they dont do anything. i dont have any of the software cd's for what is installed on the machine.
thanks for any help.
