that's weird if u have to tell it where, if you have boot-device
configured correctly, it should see it (the boot file, i.e. first.b,
second.b, then vmlinux)

no, not so much how many times, but the holding down of the those keys
seems to be the well, key, to getting the monitor to sync. u may have to
do it a couple of times, but make sure u hold those down for 2-3
seconds.
i dont bother with that unless i've managed to zap the nvram settings
(boot into macos - rare, or PRAM reset, even more rare). mostly what i
do is i have a system disk application patched with a (non-free as of
yet :( ) patch of Forth code that the video syncing, sets up the
networking, and other stuff (see below for that patch).
