How do I reboot my MacAir after disk replacement?
I just went through the step by step instructions for replacing the HD in my MacAir. Now how do I boot the computer with no external drive?
Is this a good question?

Try the following:
Press the start button
and immediately press the: O+F+Command+Option keys, all at the same time,
and HOLD them until the Terminal screen appears.
This will have some lines of text, with a flashing cursor at the end.
Type in "boot_mac" (without the quote marks), and press Return/Enter key.
The normal startup screen should appear.
Hope this helps, Regards, Karel

Addition!! The "boot_mac" must have the " _ " dash between boot and mac at the bottom, not at the centre of the line.
ADDITION AGAIN!!!!! IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK:
Instead of "boot_mac" , use "mac-boot". Done all this a long time ago and forgot
the exact word order. Sorry.
Thank you so much for your inputs, when I do that all I get is a flashing "file folder" and no terminal screen. Have I screwed it up?
