- You do seem to do it the hard way. Next time, make sure there's no disk
- in slot 5, and reboot. It will get a "Check Startup Device" error, and get you
- the bracket prompt (maybe you have to hit control-reset to get the bracket).
- Then just type "PR#7" (or whatever slot your HD is in. For me, it's slot
- 6 so I'd use "PR#6"). That should boot your hard drive like normal.
-
- I'm not at my GS right now, so I can't actually check this. I'm sure someone
- will correct me if that doesn't work.
