[QUOTE="aussiemac, post: 54709"] [b]iMac Startup problems - resolved![/b] Well, I have fixed the problem. Fix involved: Unplugging the iMac for 24 hours. Turning on the iMac (back to the Open Firmware screen). Typing: >reset-nvram (ok) >set-defaults (ok) >reset-all This then allowed me to reboot into OS8.6, at which point I ran the Firmware update, clean-installed 9.2 and I'm now back in business :cool: Thanks for the assistance.
