Thanks,
I thought of doing that so it reset it. That didn't solve the
problem. I was able to boot of a OX 9.2 disc and reselect the start
up volume. Oddly, that didn't work either. I went back to the
processor and rearranged the SODIMM's to the original placement, the
smaller (64 MB) in the lower slot. Voilà, the computer started up
without a hitch.
I wonder what that bodes for a memory upgrade for this processor.
Thanks again for your help,
and Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I just tried to install additional memory into a Pismo I just got.
It was working fine before I tried to add memory to the machine.
When I tried to start up after putting the memory in the slots,
I got a beep. I tried again and got the same thing. Figuring the
problem was the new memory, I replaced the original memory and
started up again. I got the chime, but now the computer cannot
find a start-up volume. Tried resetting the PRAM a few times
without luck. Started up and went to openfirmware, reset the
nvram successfully as the machine restarted. But it still can't
find a start-up volume.
Decided to try to start-up from the Tiger DVD, still no luck. Any
suggestions?
Check both ends of the hard drive cable, it's possible it got
nudged. Try disconnecting each end and reconnecting it just to be
sure.
