If it were me i would be more concerned about not being able to boot
from Norton and Disk Warrior.
What versions are they ?
Can you boot from OS cd ?
I assume you are running 9.1 ?
Your trying to start using C key, correct ?
I don't think you will ever boot from the Yamaha, i cannot.
Those Cds provide their own driver.
Try zapping the pram.
Press the CUDA switch for at least 10 sec.
Zap Pram again.
