[X Newbies] Jaguar Startup issue

[Crisp David R DLVA]

Michael,

Well, I just tried that.  It didn't work.  I may have a few other ideas
along those same lines.  I'll have to wait the ten minutes or so before I
can try them though.

One other point...I did find out about the holding the "option" key down so
that I can tell my Mac to start from the HD.  That worked great, but I have
to remember it each time.  Major pain right now.  I'll find the solution
soon.

Thanks again.

David

A question: did it also show your HD Icon? I have had this happen a few 
times. I simply click on the HD icon and it starts the normal way. It's 
almost as if the machine loses its startup preferences.
I would suggest you trash the following file: 
Library-preferences-com.apple.loginwindow.plist  from your HD.
Hope that helps.
