I have a net booted computer and it won't boot. Are there some default keys to hold down while she boots? I don't get command line or gui.

Presumably the hardware in question is a Mac, since this is all Mac-specific info.

C: boot from internal optical drive
Option: show Startup Manager (lets you choose startup device on the fly)
Command-Option-P-R: reset PRAM/most-of-NVRAM
Command-Option-O-F: boot into Open Firmware (on PowerPC Macs)
