How do I get into boot options with a non-mac keyboard?
Solution 1:
Things which seem to work:
- Mac mini late 2012: I had to plug the keyboard into the USB port closest to the middle, then it worked.
- MacMini (mid-2010): the outside USB port worked for me with an ancient Microsoft intellitype keyboard. I also unplugged the USB mouse receiver, so that the only USB input was the keyboard. That seemed to make the difference and let me into the boot menu options.
Solution 2:
I had to plug in a wired USB keyboard. Wireless Logitech K800 did not work in any ports.
