Yes to all.

also X key at start up does not work.


Any idea ?

What happens if you select the OS X system in startup disk in OS 9 (control panel)?

it starts in Open Firmware mode.

making reset-nvram and reset-all dont work, open firmware again.
Pressing X key, also goes to OF mode.

No os X acces, any idea ?

Thx.

does the machine have a CPU upgrade card in it? some of those render keyboard shortcuts useless, i think? installed one for a friend once, and i'm sure the book said something along those lines.

I think your only option is to remove the OS X disk, put it in a Firewire case, and reinstall OS X.
