computer: Dual 500 GigE, 2 gig ram, 250 Gig SATA, 80 Gig ATA. Had a power outage yesterday for about 2 hours with computer running idle while I was away from the computer.
When power came back the computer restarted by itself into Open Firmware. I entered "mac-boot" and the computer booted from the 80 Gig ATA. The 250 Gig SATA had been selected for the Boot disk. I reset the Start-up in System Preferences to be the 250Gig and the computer rebooted into OF and when I entered "mac-boot" it booted into Open Firmware. Then I entered "reset-nvram" and at the "ok" I entered "reset-all". Again it booted into Open Firmware. It rebooted into the 80 Gig I ran Disk Utility "Verify" on both hard drives and found no problems. I tried booting with "Shift" depressed still boots into OF. I installed "AppleJack" and tried to boot into "Single User" but again it booted into OF. Booting with "Option" depressed just Boots into OF. I put the "Apple Hardware Test" CD into the CD/DVD drive and rebooted with "C" depressed, No Joy. Still boots into Open Firmware. I am out of my depth. Can any one help me to fix what ever is wrong and get back to normal boot operation?
