They are too difficult to undo.Here is an overview of the terminal commands. I never used the firmware password protection for exactly these reasons.
#MAC STARTUP COMMANDS NOT WORKING UPDATE#
I am still sure that it's in the firmware password area, though.Īre there any batteries you can remove to bring all the firmware back to zero?īear in mind that there was a Mac firmware update some time back, at least for my MBPs. I have the same not ready message, so that's not it. It looks like the only other way to reset the PRAM is to fiddle with the RAM which isn't that easy on a Mac Mini. I don't think I can boot into Open Firmware in the link you sent, as Intel Macs no longer use it. I couldn't see any reference to the keyboard in dmesg, but the first part looks quite suspicious where its not ready for devices and security auditing comes up, then it mounts the drive and boots up: Here's another link which is a bit scary about the firmware password, but it does give instructions for a complete system firmware reset: Maybe somewhere in there you will see a reference to turning on the KB during the boot, which might help to know where the switch is located. I am sure it's simple, but I do not know how or where to find it. I am very sure that this is the problem, but it remains to solve it.

You might repost this in the Unix forum to see if anyone knows how to undo it directly in a terminal. Just a guess, but I think it's the reason, if only because what you describe is exactly what the firmware password does to the KB on boot. I suspect that part of the firmware password (the blocking of the KB on boot) got turned back on. It may be from one of the recent updates that modified the OS kernel. Somehow, I believe that the firmware password setup is messed up.
I have tried the startup key combo's with the firmware password on and off, but its still not responding to the startup keys.
#MAC STARTUP COMMANDS NOT WORKING MAC OS#
I did change the firmware password using the Mac OS 10.5 Install disc, but I have since disabled it.
