Re: Dual boot Mac Mini...force boot*menu?

Hi all,

I've been running MorphOS & OS X side-by-side on my G4 Mini for some time.

It's set to boot into MorphOS by default, but I also use OS X quite often.

Now having purchased a wireless keyboard, it's tricky to force the boot menu with Option key...you need to time the keystroke just right, not just hold Option...& it's a pain in the a**!

Is there any way I can set the firmware to make the boot menu appear without a shortcut key? As in, just make it appear by defult every time the machine is booted?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

PZ.

AFAIK there is no way to force Mac to show boot menu first. Blame your wireless keyboard, I cannot get to OF with mine as well.

Thanks for the replies folks :)

By "upgrade", do you mean connecting (the receiver in this case) & doing the keyboard identification process?

If so, then yes I have. However, it isn't an Apple keyboard, it's a Logitech one (if that counts for anything...which I guess it certainly might).

I think Thecrow mixed wireless keyboards with bluetooth one, which works fine under MorphOS but they have to be identified under osx first.
