[G4] Computer won't boot into open firmware mode

Hello again. I had posted earlier about trying to bring an G4/500 Power Mac
back to life. Well, it's working, but, there is still no "chime" when I turn
it on. As suggested, I tried to go through the reset procedure recommended
once. The first time I tried it, it did work and chime. Then I tried a
restart -- no chime. I tried to get into the open firmware mode again, and
now the computer is just blank when I restart holding down
command+option+o+f. I'm not sure why I could get the open firmware screen
once, but I can't seem to get back to that mode again.
