I used to have the problem of continuing bootup while I was holding down the option and command keys. I managed to overcome it by holding down both sets of option and command keys.
This is awkward. I don't know if you are the original buyer of your s900, but mine shipped with a oem version of TechTool Pro which will delete the desktop database completely. I think just holding down the option and command keys just appends the the desktop database file rather than overwriting it. The oem TechTool Pro erases it and then rebuilds it. I don't know if the UMAX ftp sight works, but they have a file called Umax Tool 1.0. It deletes the desktop database, too. I think oem TechTool Pro is there. TechTool should be on your SuperMac restore disk. If you can't find either of these files then you could try finding a utility that makes invisible files visible, you could make the Desktop file visible, then delete it in the finder.
