Jonas is correct, the nearest equivalent is the Option key... to show valid boot volumes to choose from at boot time... which is why i was wondering if the CD is identified as a boot volume by OSX.
I constructed a bless command (http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-May/005882.html) which boots SoaS from the USB key, even though the volume is not identified as bootable by OSX. The boot is interrupted and falls to a root prompt, but it may be possible to overcome that bug and boot into Sugar directly from the key. Mathieu Bridon of the fedora project has given me some advice, I hope to be able to work on that over the next couple of days. By the way he says the Fedora PPC version should be able to boot PowerPC (pre-Intel) Macs, and doesn't see why Sugar couldn't run on top of that. Am I missing something? thanks Sean On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 7:45 PM, Jonas Smedegaard <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 01:21:00PM -0400, Caroline Meeks wrote: >>I can boot from the CD by holding down "c".
