I turned on my iMac today and it showed a white screen and the usual startup chime. Then, after a while, instead of showing the Apple like its supposed to, it showed me a globe icon, just a bit bigger than the Apple.

I tried a couple of keyboard commands, but I knew they wouldn't work. But when I pressed Command+Shift+Esc, it switched to the Apple logo and continued booting as normal, but it was probably just a coincidence.

What does this globe mean?

Under System Preferences> Startup Disk you probably selected "Network Startup".

Select 'Mac OS X 10.4.x on Macintosh HD' instead and it won't appear again.
