No-boot situation where I either try to boot normally and see this screen:
..or hold Option+Shift and get this:
Only natural that I'd find myself in this predicament with no form of restore discs... I have a couple 10.5/10.5.8 dmgs laying around, and even hunted down a firewire so I could possibly see about restoring from an external hard drive.
Anything I can do short of purchasing a $160 disc for a Mac I only paid $80 for?
I've gotten into Open Firmware a couple times but couldn't find anything useful. Is that the key to getting this damn thing to boot from firewire when the OS is acting up?
