[G4] Sawtooth won't boot in SUM or OF

[Phil Crowe]

If your freezes occur almost immediately upon trying to use finder, have you
tried starting up in Œsafe mode¹ (like extensions off in OS9 ) to see if the
problem still occurs. If you were using a 3rd party KB & M, I would suspect
the driver¹s file is corrupted. Do you have access to TechToolPro or one of
the other 3rd party utilities to check the status of your files & also the
HD?
