Harold,
I think that's exactly what the problem is. I've had a few suggestions
of a new logic board, and I think that might be exactly what I have to do.

I guess no matter which volume she starts from it won't work, since
the firmware is somewhere in the computer hardware, outside of the
hard disc, right? Or am I wrong?

Put the install CD in an external firewire drive. (You can't boot
from a USB drive)
Hold down the option key while booting and you will get the option of

I have tried to start up the computer from an external drive and the
Open Firmware password prevents me from booting from another
CD/drive. I think this computer was used in a school/library because
it's locked down pretty well. If I can get past the Open Firmware
password, I could boot from an external source. Any ideas?
