re: imac can't find networkq

If the folder with the blinking question mark shows up right when you power
the computer on, it's a problem with the system folder. The imac can't find
a blessed system folder to boot from. Boot from a CD and run disk first
aid. See if your HD mounts. If it doesn't, you may need to try to take
further steps to verify your HD.


> When one of our iMacs starts up, a folder icon appears with a flashing
question mark (?) and just sits there doing that. No message appears telling
me that the server can't be found, I can't boot up with extentions
dissabled, I can't even boot from a CD. The network connection is fine, as
other computers run on it without a problem. Ideas anyone?

running MacOS 9.0.4 and MM 1.3. None of the other iMacs have this problem.
