[G4] G4 shut-down woes

[Peter Webster]

Dear Dan:

I tried the Open Firmware resets as per your instructions, and when the old
Sawtooth rebooted, I got the question mark/folder icon.

I shut down. Went away. Had a sandwich. Wept. Came back. Booted up:

Question mark/folder icon, blinking.

Then,

THE APPLE...

Did some work, shut down: no problem (so far.)

THANK YOU!

PMW
