Crippled from loss of displays upon restarting from alt boot drive
HI,
I Selected for restart an alt internal drive startup disk (previously tested and confirmed working) that I had cloned for a backup.
upon restarting my dual displays do not respond at all under any circumstances so I find myself crippled. They don't even flash anything. Same if I try just running one display.
I've tried every startup key command in the book including holding option, shift, C with snow leopard DVD inserted, and still nothing. I reset PRAM and my startup sound is now louder so I know that worked, also at one point I ejected a. DVD with command E, so it seems it's booting, but where did the graphics card/displays go, and how to get them back?

thanks
