Okay, this didn't work, the computer still would not boot. But I also rushed Wade's suggestion a bit just to see what would happen resetting the PRAM. Now the computer will boot from the CD (OS8.5), but not the HD. Running Drive Setup I can see the HD, but it says it's not mounted. Tried to mount it but is says I cannot mount that volume.
