If you hold down the "alt" key (may also be called "option") immediately after you hear the startup tone this will allow you to choose your startup disk. Bootable CD's will also show as available startup options.
If you know you want to boot directly from a CD then hold the "C" key down immediately after you hear the startup tone.
If you want to boot in target disc mode then hold the "T" key down immediately after you hear the startup tone.
**Remember this is assuming the commands are the same when working with G3's. (I have used them working with G4's & G5's)
Hope this helps!

I'm not entirely clear on what you mean by boot config. What is it you want to do? Ralph

Are you booting to System 9? Boot configuration setting is not mac language so most of us don't know what you're talking about.

Holding option and getting the Boot Manager is not always true on the early PowerBook G3s. Every time I hold Option this restarts it. On the Pismo, etc. it works as expected.
