Hmmmm, well -- I've done the experiments suggested by Mike, and the results are in.
1. PRAM zapping (yes, all three chimes): Restarted on Nucleolus (the SCSI HD). Bad!! 2. Open Firmware (A) Typing 'boot' -- (note: typing 'mac-boot' made it say "unknown word.") -- Restarted instantly on Nucleolus. Wrong disk. Bad!! (B) Typing 'init-vram' -- it said OK, I typed 'reset-all,' and the G3 once again proceeded to boot up with Nucleolus. Bad!! The good news, I guess, is that my boyfriend was able to talk me through the "how to open the computer" operation on the phone, so I can check the connections on the IDE drive (and try Bruce's idea of jumper to "nothing" as compared to "master"). On that note, Bruce, I know it's on the bus by itself, it has to be, doesn't it? A Rev 1 G3 Beige can only take one device per bus, isn't that right? Well, the CD-ROM is on one bus, and the new HD is on the other. Also, I found out where the CUDA button is. Question: for how long should I hold it down?
