Yikes! boot problem

I think I am just cursed this weekend. <G>
Back in Jan the logic board of my Yikes! died so I ended up with a
new machine. Over the months I picked up a new LB, installed it and
it was totally dead.
Last weekend I finally took a close look at it and pushed those two
little buttons on it. I had totally forgotten about them <blushing>
So this is cool, I now have power to the machine.
Except I cannot get it to boot off a CD or hard drive! Both hard
drives that I have work fine in my 1.42 MDD. One is a 9.2.2 boot
drive I originally had in the Yikes! and later in my 1gDP. Both of
these drives produce an alternating Happy Mac face and a folder with
a "?" on it.
If I put an OS9 CD it will sit at the Happy Mac for 30 minutes and
not go anywhere.
If I put the OS8 CD in it, I don't get any icons.
Both of these CD's used to boot the Yikes! and they still boot my PM6500.
Is there a new LB dance I forgot to do?
TIA,
Diane
