On Boot

• mouse down Eject removable media ( I think Boot ROMs prior to 2.4f1 excluded the CD drive )
• opt Bring up OF system picker on New World machines - boot to 9 on pre-New World machines
• F8 Bring up Mac OS X boot partition selector (DTKs only?)
• cmd-period When OF system picker is active, open the CD tray

• cmd-opt-n-d prevent native drivers from loading (System 7 until 9.x?)
• cmd-opt-shift-delete Bypass startup drive and boot from external (or CD). This actually forces the system to NOT load the driver for the default volume, which has the side effect mentioned above. For SCSI devices it searches from highest ID to lowest for a partition with a bootable system. Not sure about IDE drives.
• cmd-opt-shift-delete-# Boot from a specific SCSI ID # (# = SCSI ID number)

• cmd-opt-c-i (Mac IIci only) Set date to 20 Sep 1989 to get a graphical easter egg
• cmd-opt-f-x (Mac IIfx only) Set date to 19 Mar 1990 to get a graphical easter egg
