Kicking the card out shouldn't stop the boot process. It usually doesn't happen until later in the boot process if it can't find the software for it and therefore can't recognize it (ooh, I don't know what that is...I spit it out.), but the boot process should continue.
Check to be sure the software for it is available. Another thing is: Try switching slots. I have a CF card in the upper slot, and the modem in the lower one. It likes it that way, hates it if I switch them, but I'm not sure why. Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
