Thanks for all the help. but I really blew this question (below). It
turns out that the system just shuts off before the login window comes
up. The system itself is shutting down. The computer goes off.
Here's something I haven't seen before, a particular kind of trouble.
An early PowerMac G4 Quicksilver. You start it up, the O.S.'s Apple
appears, and then the screen dies. It's all given up.
Any ideas? I hope to tackle this problem tomorrow.
I'm only now getting to this computer, and looking at the problem
carefully.
I swapped monitors and the same thing happens. I get the Apple and the
waiting symbol as it starts up, and then it shuts down, before login
even begins.
Sorry for the poorly worded/inaccurate question.
