Likewise, and as in the case mentioned above, the globe icon is displayed if the computer is looking on the network for a netboot image to boot from. For instance, if users have installed multiple operating systems and do not have a default boot partition set, the system will take time to search for a boot drive, and in the mean time may display the folder with the blinking question mark. However, besides displaying for problems, small errors or changed system settings can result in these boot screens displaying on normal and healthy system installations.
The most common of these is the folder with the blinking question mark which shows a bootable operating system cannot be found. Macs have various boot screens, which indicate either problems with the boot process or that alternate methods of booting are being used. Tacubaya write: "Today my brother, who has an identical Macbook to mine, turned the computer on and instead of the regular silver apple at boot a planet earth (big one, like 200x200 and static) picture replaced it and then after a while the system loaded up." Depending on how your Mac has been used, especially if users have multiple operating systems installed or if they've just freshly installed their system software, the computer may boot and display a different symbol than the default apple symbol.
