MAC 10.6.3 Mac Cube


Does anyone know how to access a MAC BIOS? I have a system that is hanging at the boot screen?

Hi,

Are you sure the Mac Cube has a bios?

Both my macpro and macbookpro use EFI instead.

I've read about, but never used myself, about a bios emulator that works with or uses Apple's boot camp.

Hope this helps.

Nope, I don't look like her in any way, probably has something to do with the fact that I'm male......

I am a big fan of Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri though!!

Pressing CMD + V and keep pressed will boot you're MAC in the verbose mode .
It might give a clue why its hangs
