Hi,

	I do not know how I actually did it, but it works. Now the problem  
are gone forever.

	The bootup process no longer stucks in the ROM monitor.... It  
boots while displaying the spinning disk only. And it goes all the way to  
loginwindow with CD-ROM drive connected....

Here's what I did:

	1. Re-install 3.0 from CD-ROM.....
		bfd CD-ROM tool to boot from CD-ROM Drive, for old NSC. 

	2. re-set parameters in the ROM monitor--- I turn extended  
diagonistic test off and shutdown verbose mode. 

g
P.S. You will lose quite a few thing even if you choose not to erase your  
Hard disk. It took me one day to bring back my SLIP setup and netinfo, as  
well as the userInfo.
