Hello, I am running El Capitan with time machine and SuperDuper!. I have 4 bootable partitions: - mac hd containing the latest release level of El Capitan - snapshot containing the latest public beta of ElCapitan - mac backup on an external disk containing the latest backup of mac hd - recovery partition as provided by Apple
I normally boot the snapshot partition, but occasionally this stops working due to a beta install problem. I thus reboot my iMac by pressing the start button while holding down the option key on the keyboard for about a minute. This displays a list of bootable partitions and I can choose the desired partition by using the cursor left and right arrow keys and can then press Enter to boot with that partition. The problem is that there is no VoiceOver at this time so I do not know where the desired partition is in the list of partitions. At this point I normally seek help from my sighted wife! Is there any rationale for the order in which the bootable partitions are displayed? I hoped they are displayed in alphabetical order but that does not seem to be so. Also does anyone know whether the arrow keys wrap while arrowing across this list? For example can I press the left arrow key say ten times and be assured that I finish up on the left most partition in the partition list? To summarise how can I choose the desired bootable partition from the partition list without the need for sighted help? Many thanks for any tips….
