So after this happens, the computer will neither restart nor shut down and the only way to get the computer to actually shut down is to hit the reset button on the back. After that, OSX will not start but gives the slash sign. The only way to get the computer up is to plug it in, hit the on button, hold down the "C" key to kick open the CD drive, put in an OS9 boot CD--by now OSX has given a slash sign even tho the "C" key was down--then hit the reset button (this is the only way to get it off) hit the start button, hold the "C" key down, boot from the OS9 CD, set the startup disk to the OSX partition and reset the clock. hit restart. (what is really odd is that it will not restart from the OS9 partition, and, for some reason, OSX will not restart until you bless the folder from the CD)
Is there any way to rescue the semi-shutdown computer without having to go through these machinations?
