  Would that be an eMac by any chance ? :)

  I've yet to get to the bottom of this, though I have an idea or two as 
to why it's happening.

  In the meantime, the workaround (at least on my ageing eMac), is to 
break into OpenFirmware (cmd-opt-o-f at the boot chime) and manually 
boot from the OpenFirmware prompt

  0 > boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:0

later,

Peter.
