I couldn't help you here, just make sure youa re using "no video driver"
from boot X.

Hmmm... I have problems that are the reverse of this. Make sure you are
using the latest BootX (1.02 I think).

Well, if it stays like that, you have broken system files.... if it does
find the hard disk (more particularly a "blessed" disk), then you need to
make sure you have the StartUp control panel set properly. Make sure
Macintosh HD (or equivelent) is highlighted and you computer shouldn't get
confused about where to boot from anymore.
If this problem persists (or if Macintosh HD is already highlighted), then
try trashing your Finder preferences (you would be amazed at how much stuff
this fixes)... And run Apple Disk First Aid.
