Having some boot issues right now. It starts but doesn't recognize the hard drive. It tries to load from the internal CD drive but takes FOREVER so I don't think it's working in the sense there's a MOBO issue. The CD-Drive and HD spin up so I know it's something silly

I have EVERY version of NeXT and NeXT step on disks and CD-ROM so whatever OS I install once I get her working. I just send the board out for a recap (an extra board) and think it's having a keyboard input issue. The fact I cannot use the COMMAND buttons on startup to force it into programmers mode lead me to think it just needs a servicing. I've seen an article discussing that issue and it seems to be a simple fix. Thanks Uniserver! The fact it boots, loads, HD seems to spin, CD-Drive takes a disc leads me to believe it's something silly. Good thing I've got 2 mobo's.

Anyone have any suggestions?
