On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 10:23:36 -0500, I Beartooth wrote half a post, and hit
the wrong button. Continuing from where I didn't mean to quit : 

It booted both YDL and OSX then, and continued to under 3.0 -- but *how*
it booted in the sense of with what, I have no idea. Then a day or three
ago, I simply put the CDs from Terrasoft into it, and when I got to the
choice, told it to wipe everything and do a clean install onto the whole
hard drive. Whatever that left is what it boots with. I don't know how to
ask it, though.

I hit the power button, or click on the reboot button, and do nothing more
till it asks me to log in. (I do watch the boot messages scroll by, albeit
with hands folded.)
