Starting Up From Another Disk; Starting Up From A Cd-Rom Disc - Motorola StarMax User Manual

Starting up from another disk

If the hard disk you want to repair or initialize is the startup disk,
you need to restart from another disk. Use the instructions in this
section for alternate methods of restarting.

Starting up from a CD-ROM disc

To initialize, test, or repair a hard disk, or to install system software
on a hard disk, you need to start up your computer from another
device. You can start up your computer using the CD-ROM disc
containing system software. This CD-ROM disc is in the accessory
kit shipped with your StarMax.
To start up the computer using the CD-ROM disc, either use the
"Startup Disk" control panel to set the CD-ROM drive as your
startup drive, or follow these steps:
1. Power your computer on.
2. Immediately press the open/close button on your CD-ROM drive,
and quickly insert the CD-ROM disc containing system software
into the drive.
3. Immediately press the C key on your keyboard.
Continue to hold down the key until you see the "Welcome to Mac
OS" message.
If a blinking question mark appears, or if the computer starts up from your
hard disk: You did not insert the CD-ROM disc quickly enough for
the computer to recognize it as a startup disk. Follow these steps:
1. Power down your computer.
The CD-ROM disc will remain in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Power the computer on.
