[QUOTE="aussiemac, post: 54420"] ...And therein lies the problem - I can't get to the Finder, because I had set the 'startup disc' to be a CD which goes straight to an 'erase HD or restart' window rather than the Desktop. If I'd thought about it in more detail (and read a few forums beforehand!) I would have dumped the contents of the HD onto an external HD or other computer, and done a clean install from scratch which would have included 9.2 and OSX. I have tried the PRAM reset (using the Open Firmware command line) without any effect. [/QUOTE]
