Does anyone know who to get into Open Firmware on a B&W G3. Option-Apple-O-F does not seem to work. It works on my Wallstreet just fine. I use it to boot between X and 9.1 at start up. Thanks.

I believe what your refering to can be accomplished by holding down the "Programmers Button" on the front of your Blue and White. Hold that down while booting, and you will be presented with the Open Firmware screen. (It might take awhile, hold it till you see the white screen.)

You probably know that large button is for power, the other is for reset (triangle), and the third is a programmers button.
