When you try to start up from a floppy disk, a disk icon with a X appears in
the middle of the screen and the floppy disk is ejected.
This icon indicates that the floppy disk you tried to start up from is
not a startup disk.
Wait a few seconds. The computer should start up from its internal
hard disk. Make sure you insert floppy disks only after the
computer has begun starting up.
A "sad Mac OS" icon appears and the computer will not start up.
This icon indicates that your system cannot start up because of a
problem with the system software or the computer hardware.
Eject any floppy disks by powering off the computer and then
holding down the mouse button while you power the computer on
again. Try starting up with the CD-ROM disc that contains system
software. (For instructions on how to start up your computer from
the CD-ROM disc, see Starting up from a CD-ROM disc on page 6-45.)
If the "sad Mac OS" icon appears again, consult the service and
support information that came with your computer for information
on contacting a Motorola-authorized service provider or Motorola
for assistance.
