[CUBE] Can't boot from OS 9.0 CD

[Anthony Kulesa]

OK, 9.0 FOUR (I must have meant to say that ;-) will boot for sure. As 
will 9.1, 9.2, X, etc.
I recently had a case where Norton Utilites messed up my cube so badly 
that I couldn't boot from any OS CD.
Zapping the PRAM fixed the problem. Worth a try.
