When I attempt to start my computer it exits to the monitor and says
"default boot device not found"  I'm able to boot it up with a bsd command,
but Prefrences will not let me change my default boot device (it says
no applicable when I click the icon).

Any ideas what I've done/how to fix it?  It just started doing this a few days 
ago and I hadn't made any changes to the hardware recently.

Please respond by mail,  I seldom read this group.

Mr. Grinch
