Hi guys,

I need your help. I recently installed OS9 via the other 4 CD's that came with my Dual 867 MDD (2months old). Well, stupid me thought I could boot it up into OS9 which apparently it doesn't like, even if it was an option in Preferences. So, it'll start up with a disk and a question mark, then show the happy face mac. But it'll just sit there. I left it alone and came back over an hour later and it was still there.

How can I boot back into X without reinstalling it?

Thanks!
