[G4] Sawtooth won't boot in SUM or OF

[Harry A Freeman]

You might also want to throw in a "PRAM" reset.
Like Dan instructed below, Shut down the computer.  Start it up again  
and immediately after the chime, press and hold the Option, Command,  
letter "P" and letter "R" keys simultaneously. P & R  for PRAM.

However this time keep holding these four (4) down until you hear the  
stat-up chime at least four (4) time then release them.

Your platform then should start up normally.

Cheers

Harry
