This is in reference to an iBook System X (10.2.8) - also a System 9 installed on it. I have no system CDs to help me.
I inadvertently changed my startup disk from the hard drive to NETWORK SERVICES. Now When I start up, I get this world globe, then changes to the folder icon with the question mark, searching for a drive. I have an OS-9 data disk that I'm trying to boot up from -- no luck. Just want to get back to my system preferences so I can change back to MY HARD DRIVE as startup --- H.E.L.P. P.L.E.A.S.E. -- Bill

I don't know if it will help but try to start up pressing OPTION and then select the OS you want to START.
I hope it helps.
Post if it did.
