Got to the black-and-white greet screen and typed "install". Went to a white screen telling me to type "mac-boot" to continue or "shut-down" to shutdown, and "Release key to continue". Couldn't type anything at this point, even after switching from third-party (MacAlly) USB keyboard to default Apple USB keyboard. Had to shutdown with power switch. |
