Hardware:

Biege G3 upgraded to 400 mc G4

IDE master(ATA) - 80 G hard disk. Partitioned (using OSX) (1) 7.9G, OSX 10.2.8 (2) 35+/ G, OS 9.1 (3) 35 +/- G, Scratch

IDE slave CDROM

OSX loaded, updated to 10.2.8 operated well (? considering the problems).

LOST booting to OSX.
Advised by othet "G-list" member to use "System Disk" (from Apple) to get back to OSX. This worked a few times.

This REALLY sounds like a dead PRAM battery. These systems do all sorts of funky things when that starts going, and it isn't always losing the date and time that's the first indicator.
