first my powerbook G4/450 was booted with a cd in the cd-rom drive (accidentally ;). the next reboot failed and i can't start the machine. seems like the machine is trying to boot from the cd-rom drive. would like advice please on the best thing to do. is there a URL to download Mac OS 9.1 boot/start-up disks?
