I've got an iMac G3 400MHz that, when the DVD drive is connected,
will only boot to a tan colored screen. Disconnect the drive and it
works fine. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
USB or Firewire drive?
Still happens after resetting the nvram?
Something is stopping the bootstrap from building the full device
tree. Could be the bus is foo, the cable, or the drive. Do the
cable and drive work properly (and no errors thrown into the system
log!) if plugged in *after* the machine has booted?
