I wanted to reboot from my Disk Warrior
CD-ROM so I put it in the internal CD-ROM drive and
rebooted, holding down the "C" key, but the computer
started up from the HD, eventually reporting that
it couldn't recognize the CD-ROM and offered to eject
or initialize it, so I chose the former.
The CD-ROM had opened on the Desktop when I had
inserted it before rebooting and also was recognized
when I re-inserted it after it had been ejected.
This happened all over again when I repeated
the procedure, but restarting with the C key down
only immediately after inserting the CD-ROM.
Finally, I decided to choose the CD-ROM from
the Startup Disk control panel and that worked when
I restarted.
Perhaps related is that the Wall Street started
up yesterday with a bootable Jaz disk in the drive.
I thought you had to press a specific key combination
(Option+Command+Shift+Delete) to get a Mac to
boot from an external drive, overriding the internal HD.
Anyone have any explanations?
