Thanks again Nancy, glad someone finally answered my question about restarting from the command-line interface. Now, I'm not sure that it's booting into open firmware. It's asking me to login and type my password, here's what it says (without the dashed lines): --------------------------------------------------- Darwin/BSD (Eric-Wilsons-Computer.local) (console) login: --------------------------------------------------- Don't I have to login to this before I can execute any commands? I have no idea how to login to this thing, It rejects everything I've tried. Eric in Phoenix -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
