I was asking the questions to get an idea of exactly what you did from the point you got the Software Update dialog, to the point where the ROM flash progress bar started.

Yeah. Good, but I have NO faith that it will be FREE(!).
But this changes the cause of the problem. Since the flash was
complete, the flash loaded the wrong data into ROM and caused your
problem and why it sat there 'twitching' for 30 minutes. I think this
might either be one of two things: You said you shut down the machine
first, this might have an effect, or the data used for the flash wasn't
properly loaded.
Well, it does not matter, since I took the HD out of the Pismo, and put it in
my Lombard, started it up, and erased the ROM update program.
Did you actually shut down the machine at any point?
After it completed "the progress bar" and then went into a flashing
pram/sleep lamp for about 30 minutes (when theinstructions said it would restart), yes,
I did turn it off.
If you did, then I would wager that caused the problem. If you did a
restart, then the fault is in Software Update on OS 9, as it downloaded
something with a bad checksum.
No, it never allowed me to restart. After it loaded and went into the
aformentioned "flashing light" mode, after restarting it did the short tone and
flashing light mode.
I am DONE with ROM...
