G'day John, Rich That's it in a nutshell, Rich.
I would add that for G3's that don't give a menu when booting with the Option key down (they just boot straight into 9), I think open firmware settings are stored in Pram, that's why zapping stuffs the Jag boot parameters. The later models (iMac etc) show a horrible looking brief Boot System menu when Option/booting. Once you know about the System Disk panel for recovering Jag, our old clunkers are actually easier. It's just that we have to boot into 9 first after a zap. The later ones probably also store boot parameters in Pram, but the firmware has the built in System selector. I suspect the Boot System menu display models are all built in usb ones. Regards Santa -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
