[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1356062, member: 8287"] With that Apple Full Sized Aluminum keyboard, there are drivers that need to be loaded for it to work. They are not loaded till OSX loads all the way. So when you are trying to hit keys in the firmware after the startup sound, no drivers and no keyboard. Annoying for sure. It works with some iMacs I have owned but not on any of my Minis. It's the Minis firmware and that keyboard. Go to Walmart and get some CHEAP USB keyboard. That should work for you for those commands. [/QUOTE]
