How do I access OpenBoot without a Sun keyboard (ie. no Stop-A)?
You can always access OpenBoot using Stop-A on a Sun keyboard. However, if like me you started out with a standard PC USB keyboard, you might be unable to send Stop-A because the Stop key doesn’t exist in PC land. To access OpenBoot in this situation, you can press the power button twice during the power on sequence, just after the power on beep has sounded. A little experimentation might be required to get the timing right! michael@wells.org.
