I wish I could start from the CD but I can not get power up to boot,
even though I have a good battery inserted and also the AC adapter on.

My Pismo wont boot up, system is powered with AC adapater as well as
having the M7318 battery inserted and charging (?) I have replaced the
PRAM battery, still no luck. I tried my other M7318 battery hit the
startup button, got the startup tone and a apple showed up on the
screen, but no turning pancake. After a while got a message to hold
down the start up button for several seconds. This did shut it down,
but I cannot boot up.
Any suggestion?
--------------------------------------------
If I understand correctly the system powers on but doesn't boot into
the
operating system. First, if you haven't, I would recommend resetting
the PRAM (hold command-option-P-R for at least 3 'bongs.')
Then try resetting the defaults in open firmware. Hold
Command-Option-O-F at boot. Type reset-nvram and press return. Type
reset-all and press return.
If that doesn't work it sounds like the OS is corrupted or the hard
drive is bad. I would recommend starting up from your OS CD or a drive
utility and checking the disk.
