[comp.sys.mac] Force booting from the Hard Drive

moyman@ecn.purdue.edu (James M Moya) (07/28/90)

Is there a way to force a Macintosh Machine with a hard drive to boot from the
hard drive *even* if a floppy is inserted at boot up??  Please e-mail
to me...

Even if there was, I wouldn't do it if I were you. The floppy is checked first
for a reason. What would you do if the System on the hard drive became 
corrupted?
