Actually, it looks like KB article #106214 was modified with Safe Boot info back on 10/15/02.

It's a feature of 10.2 and later, and is an automatic check and repair procedure. It seems to be an automated fsck -y. Instead of booting while pressing Cmd-S, typing "fsck -y" and then typing "reboot", you just press the Shift key for the first boot, and press the Restart key for the second boot. Safe Boot: After a crash or bad shutdown, or if the computer won't boot up all the way, Restart any way you can, while pressing the Shift key until the pinwheel starts. Then let go and wait. Checking and repairing will take awhile in the background, then the regular blue screen will appear with the words Safe Boot in the splash box. If this boot finishes OK, then restart again, the usual way. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 28. The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>.
