A few words of thanks would be greatly appreciated.

iMac G4 won't boot- CD blocked

Latest update on April 12, 2011 at 10:12 AM by aakai1056 .

A blocked CD is preventing your iMac G4 from booting properly:

Restart the computer.
Immediately after the startup sound, hold down the key combination (Apple-Option-O-F).
Release the keys when a white screen displaying "Welcome to Open firmaware appears. (the keyboard will switch to Qwerty)
Then

-type: eject cd
-Press Enter, wait a few seconds. The disc drive should eject the CD, and "Ok" appears on the screen
-Type: mac-boot (q and c keys) boot on a French keyboard)
-Press Enter.

Thanks to Sanspseudo for this tip.
