No. I'm afraid not.
We're talking about the Alt/Option key between the Ctrl & Command keys, right?
I hold it down, press the power button, it powers on [I'm still holding Opt at this point], then I hear the "ta da" sound. I'm *still* holding the Option key until the account login screen appears.
So, basically, no drive select screen displays at any point.
Whe I *did* manage to boot to the firewire drive [using System Pref/Startup Disk to select it as the Startup Drive], I noticed the "ta da" sound did not play on start-up. So, I'm pretty sure the drive select screen is not displaying when pressing Option.
The only thing I can suggest is, I've got the new(er) slim/aluminum keyboard - could that have something to do with it?
Thx again
