startup key combinations I want to see
Authored by: ever on Jan 31, '06 09:49:12AM

Killing power during boot doesn't seem like such a good idea. Most tray-loading macs I've seen can be safely ejected with the power off by pushing the end of a bent paper clip into the tiny hole designated for that purpose. You can also use Open Firmware to eject the CD and do a bunch of other stuff without booting the computer. You'll have to look elsewhere (eg Apple Support) for more info on that.
