did I mess up my panther, my beige, or both?

[Felix]

Hello all. Well, I'm sick of buying usb firewire combo cards that say 
they will work with mac and don't.  I even installed Jaguar on a 
separate drive and had no luck--the latest was a COMPUSA branded card 
that I thought would work b/c I saw it listed on xlr8yourmac.com.  At 
least that one I can return.  I'm ready to shell out the "big bucks".  
I've thrown $45.00 away so far--well no more!  I'd rather just switch 
back and forth b/w usb and firwire cards.  I'll only use the firewire 
card to import video, something that I won't do too often. Of course, if 
I ever want to get an external firewire drive, then a good functioning 
combo card will be very necessary.

But what's worse, I now can't startup in Panther anymore. I get this 
text instead:

DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00300 at &SRR0: 0560a428 ...
Open Firmware 2.4
To continue booting the MacOS type:
BYE <return>
To continue booting from the default boot device type:
BOOT <return>
For Open Firmware serial I/O type:
TTYA IO<return>
 ok
0 >
If I type bye, nothing happens.  If I type Boot, I think I get some text 
back, but it does not boot.
At first I thought it was because the other drive (now with Jaguar) was 
using the onboard IDE, whereas my Panther drive uses a SIIG card. So I 
disconnected the Jaguar drive. Same results. I downloaded the latest XPF 
beta, but still, same results. That partition also has OS 9 and I can 
boot in OS 9 on that partition, but not Panther. I sure would like to 
fix it. Any ideas?
I've reset the PRAM. 
Apparently, I wasn't supposed to install Jaguar on the same system.  Is 
this what did it?
