What is the OSX equivalent to holding down "shift" in OS9 to boot up with minimal extensions? I've tried holding down Option (alt) but Tiger 10.4.3 starts up, shows the little spinning circle & apple logo, and then shuts down after 5 minutes. I have an iMac DV/400.
Also, when I connect my external firewire disc the iMac searches the disc for ages before I get a multi-language "Restart" message. I've updated the LaCie firmware on the external, and I even installed OSX onto the external to boot from and I still get the "restart" message after a few minutes. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
