Powering up with the mouse key held down is common knowledge. Another variation of it is holding the eject button (while powering up), although I haven't tried this one with gnu-linux.
Although, there might be a book or a few that list key combinations, you find these documented at the apple site. That's where I run into them. There are also mac enthusiast sites that list these, among them "boot up" key combinations. Google.
