no longer get boot choice

Decided life wasn't complicated enough, so I would upgrade Mac OS (for MOL) to latest 10.2.8 version, the last that I will run on this G3 B&W 350. Install seemed to go OK, but after, booting to Mac OS (not MOL) resulted in no mouse movement. This beast still has an ADB port, and I even tried plugging the mouse in there. No mouse.

On the advice of another Mac expert, I zapped the PRAM. Of course, this means that the possible boot kernels have been reduced to one, the MacOS with no mouse.

Can I recover? Anyone know how?

I read past e-mails about interrupting a Mac boot, but I can't recall the correct keyword to search the archives, else I wouldn't be asking.

Any suggestions? Maybe it's in the FAQ - but I can't get to all of my bookmarks, as they are on the Mac that won't boot useably!

Thanks
