My 1GHz has loud, full-blast, max rpm, high-speed, constantly spinning fan. After reading of jholt5638's success by removing modem, I just finished trying it. I guess the mainboard is damaged, because removed modem and reset-all did not result in changed fan behaviour. But I did confirm:

OpenBSD/macppc Boot device considerations:

ide0 (cdrom) is valid as a root drive only if no hard drives are connected to the Ultra bus.

Is it a TiBook, too? Mine also has a bit of fan noise, but I don't think it's full-blast, but I could be wrong. I just got it and noticed the fan noise right away, from boot and under both a clean OS9 and 10.5.8 as well.
