So the title says a lot. Here is the background of my question:
I have a macbook. I was running v 10.4 until recently. Now i'm running Ubuntu version 8.04.
I'm trying to enter the mac equivalent of BIOS in order to disable my trackpad/mouse (its broken and causing some problems while trying to use an external mouse). I know that the Mac equivalent of BIOS is "open firmware", and that to access it, you press command-opt-o-f while booting. However, I've tried this and it still seems to boot normally. I'm wondering if there's a different set of keys I need to press in order to access open firmware now that I'm running a linux Operating System.
Can anyone suggest how to do this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!!
