6 Key
The numeric 6 key works like the numeric 5 key, except that the firmware uses the
customized service mode bootlist.
8 Key
This option is used by service personnel. To enter the open firmware command line,
press the numeric 8 key
after
the word keyboard displays and
before
the last word
speaker displays during startup. After you press the 8 key, the remaining POST
indicators display until initialization completes.
When initialization and POST are complete, the open firmware command line (an OK
prompt) displays.
This option should only be used by service personnel to obtain additional debug
information.
To exit from the open firmware command prompt, type reset-all or power off the
system and reboot.
