[Cube] Start-up - again

[Luis Meleiro]

Ken,

Pressing alt key when booting will take effect only if you've got both systems installed in different partitions.
If you're not able to boot from a bootable CD (OS 9 or X), I'd try zapping PRAM: hold down simoultaneously command+alt+P+R when booting and let your Mac chime twice. You may then depress all keys and see if it boots 10.3.8.

How will you be able to determine if there's a system 9 properly installed in your Cube?

Open System Preferences and choose 'Startup Disk' pane. See if it finds a classic system 9 in your computer.

Hope this was helpful.

My Cube appears to still have OS 9.2.2 on it, so I tried starting from 
that system (to update the ROM).  It wouldn't start - got a floppy 
question mark image.  So, I tried to go back to OSX 10.3.8, by holding 
down the option key, but no luck - the start options shown were only 
the hard drive, not an operating system choice.

How do I get it to start in OS X?
