Re: PRAM reset

Thoughts:
You may need to replace the PRAM battery.
Your motherboard may be "ill". I have a Beige G3 that's unable to
switch between 9 and OS X seamlessly. Sometime when I boot into OS X
10.2 (rarely since it's my Linux server ;-) it requires a number of
restart attempts before it will finally boot into OS 9 (Linux... since
I use OS 9 to "jump start" YellowDogLinux).
