I had a similar problem two years ago with an old Beige G3 with the OS X Beta CD, I only booted from this CD, but didn't install anything, after that I couldn't get the Mac to boot from the HD, PRAM zapping didn't work, only zapping it ten times fixed it. I believe I also tried the CUDA reset, but even that didn't work. Like Peter said if you have really strange problems with your Beige, OS X and disappearing IDE busses, zapping the PRAM ten times fixes this, don't know why, but it does work :-) -- Marc van Gemert | MacSonar Support Team | Webmaster MacSonar http://www.MacSonar.net | mailto:marc@;macsonar.net * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
