I only have the minimac, not the other apple paraphernalia;
in particular, I don't have an apple keyboard, so there's
no way for me to press "cmd+alt+o+f". According to INSTALL.macppc,
it's "Command + Option + O + F" actually; is there a way to
do that on a non-apple keyboard? I have the usual PC keyboard
attached to it via USB.
ANyway, even a non-apple keyborad makes it possibel, obviously,
to boot while holding [C] pressed. What could be the reason
it doesn't work?
