-------------------
Woke up in the night with the answer to my own question. I
have both hard drives in this B&W G3 on the PCI/IDE controller card
and no hard drive on the onboard IDE controller. When I pushed the
CUDA the computer reverted to default, which is the hard drive on the
motherboard controller, and there is no hard drive there.
I get a grey screen with some instructions to type
"Mac-startup" or "Mac-shutdown" (Or something like that) and, of
course, it won't startup until it finds a system folder. I started
from the OS 9.1 CD, opened system folder/control panels, selected the
hard drive with a system folder on it, and restarted.
Good to remember this if you have both hard drives on an
installed controller card. It can be a puzzle when the computer fails
to boot after a CUDA or PRAM reset.
