[Cube] Start-up - again

[Ken Johnson]

I actually did the System Preferences - Startup Disk, etc to get it to 
try to start in 9.2.2 (that was one of the choices).  Since then it 
hangs on the floppy disk & question mark.

Holding down cmd/option/p/r does not get to a chime - disk makes a 
short sound, then stops, then repeats
