The F12 key wasn't working, but the mouse button did the trick.
However, the machine isn't seeing the Tiger installation disk (yes,
it's the retail version, not system-specific).  I'm going to try
pulling the ATA-66 and ATA-100 cables next.  Perhaps something in the
failed drive is hanging the system.

Thank  you to everyone for your help and suggestions.   If anyone has
anything else to add, please do not hesitate.
