[Duo2400] Re: Hacks and success on this list

Will it work on regular HFS volumes or only on HFS+ ? (That's what I love about this list, all this "obsolete" troubleshooting info that I've forgotton over the course of time and upgrades)

Does this mean that restarting and then holding down
Cmd-Opt-Shift-Delete
will not result in starting from one of the HFS+ partitions?

Yes, that's exactly what that key combination does, forces a Mac to look for
a volume other than the internal boot drive to start up from. This has even
worked for me when trying to start up from a CD, on those rare occasions
that holding down the "C" key fails to work.
