Instead of pressing the 'C' key at boot time as Apple suggest try holding Command-Option-Shift-Delete. It's a grand old key combo that dates way back to the early days of SCSI Macs but it works on my B&W where as 'C' fails to on most occasions. Of course if the hard drive has no OS on it anyway it should default to loading from the CD drive, but I've had occasions where the lack of OS, or the format (or lack thereof) of the hard disk has confuzzled the machine.Actually, the HD I am using I just pulled out of a AIO G3/233 and it has OS9.2.2 running on it. I tried to boot off it too, but that didn't work either. I'll try that key combo you suggested and hope that works.
Thanks--
