The option key at boot time should bring up a boot menu. Failing that, control open-apple O F at boot time should get you to open firmware, from there you can type "boot cdrom" This is all from memory - it's been a while since I worked on a Mac like this. Could be wrong. -Ian On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 10:03 AM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
I burned two DVDs, one with Lubuntu and the other with MorphOS, both for PowerPC. The computer currently boots to Debian as configured by the previous owner. It says to press 'c' to boot from the CD/DVD drive, but it seems to ignore the keypress and boots to Debian regardless. (Keyboard works fine; I can type at the login even though I don't have the credentials.) Is there some other way to force it to boot from the DVD?
