To reset the Parameter RAM hold down COMMAND-OPTION-SHIFT when selecting
the control panel. On the Mac II and the SE you will be asked if you want to 
reset the Parameter Ram...answer yes and the RAM will be reset to factory
settings. I ran into a simmilar problem when I was using multiple hard
drives and was switching drive names and ID numbers. The Mac II got so
confused that it would only boot from floppies and would not bring any
hard disk icons up onto the desk top.

So don't panic...you haven't just killed a mac II.

P.S.: Apple really should say something in the mannuals. I found my info
      in a tech note on booting tough disks.

don.
