[G4] Firmware and BootROM

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

I believe the better option is to select the "System Preferences" 
panel, then select "Startup Disk" if there is a OS 9.x.x system folder 
that can be used for startup it will be found.

Then click on the OS 9.x.x disk (if there is any) and the select the 
"Restart" button.
