I restarted my mac, router and modem this morning. I now have a blinking globe at the start up. This is normal although I am not on a network. I figure that I made the startup disc a network a while ago.
However, now, I can't get past the blinking globe. It has been blinking for 13 minutes now, and I don't see it stopping soon.
I have read the apple forums:

I am concerned, confused, and frustrated.
Can anyone help me get past this boot screen, Are there alternative ways to boot an iMac (intel OS X 4.11.x)

Solution
This is happening because Network Disk is selected in the Startup Disk control panel and no NetBoot servers are available.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Open the Startup Disk control panel.
2. Select the appropriate startup disk icon.
3. Close the Startup Disk control panel.
4. Restart the computer

You can try to reboot your system and press and hold the option key. You should get several icons on your screen. One of them should be your system disk. I believe you can either tab over to it or click on it, then hit return to boot
