I'm working on a MAC PLUS and I tried the aformentioned CMD-Period....
OUCHHHHH!!!!.... this puppy did bad thiings to my disks. let me explain

I had a disk in the external drive. and was swapping disks in the internal
(oh to have a hard disk :*) ) anyway I made a similar mistake as Dave.
the computer asked for a disk that I had no Idea were was. being desperate
not to loose all my work I hit CMD-. and lo-and-behold the dialog box went
away to be replaced by insert startup disk...... and as I was thanking GOD
It ejected my startup disk and asked me to reinsert it. to make a long story...
My startup disk and the disk in the external drive were unreadable...unmountableNeedless to say I no longer do anything desperate when something happens.
