Hi Jóhann, These are great links, thanks!! So to summarize: On 03/11/2013 05:11 PM, "Jóhann B.

They consolidated all the options into a single 'boot options' menu. Their solution is instead of triggering the boot options menu during boot, that you click on a button in the desktop UI that reboots you into 'advanced startup' mode which shows the boot menu by default. Sounds like the most elegant solution and should be used as a fallback/rescue mode encase something comes up for desktops. Basically do what Lennart has been suggesting along with borrowing from OS X to play an sound ( startup tone ) when you should press a ( startup ) key but have very limited key combo, if anything other then a single keypress to get you to that "advanced startup" mode/target. 2. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533They appear to have an entire menagerie of keys you can press during startup to access various modes and controls. Seems very un-Apple like though to have so many different modes... Here's a more complete list [1] kinda shows that to many key-combo options at bootup aint that pretty:) 1. http://face.centosprime.com/macosxw/startup-keys-boot-options/ |
