Hold down the left mouse button during power-on. Some drives in the
G5s have a barely reachable eject button on the front if you pull down
the drive slot door. One of mine actually had the physical eject
button removed so it's a bit of a hassle if I want to swap install
discs.

I'm curious to try the version 9 image you're referring to as I'm
unable to get SATA drives to appear from either the 8.2 RC1 release or
Nathan's custom disc. Where are you getting the version 9 images?
