Try just pressing the Option key. That should bring up a screen that will offer you all bootable options. You should have the Panther CD already in your external drive.
Hope this helps,

Henry

I've got a firewire Powerbook G3 here loaded with 20 Gig HD, 512MB
RAM, the  DVDROM bay drive died a couple of years ago. But currenty I
have at hand an Imation External CD writer that I bought two years ago
which is actually connected to my Powerbook through firewire port. I
tried booting up pressing the "T" and pressing the option key . . . my
panther CD wouldn't just boot up. Can anybody give me another option?
Thanks
