Upon some further investigation, the problem appears to be using the keyboard on the Mini. I have tried one on an iBook and a G5 Tower and they seem to function properly. It may be the USB on the Mini. For now I am using iMac keyboard for the Mini’s and the aluminum keyboards on the iMac.

It’s been my experience that the boot option keys work when the keyboard is plugged directly into the computer. Plugging into my monitor kills the keys. Have you tried not using a hub or monitor and plugging directly in?

The aluminum keyboard has been useless in a K-12 lab setting. The “C”, “S”, “N” and “OPTION” keys are a must for NETBOOT and dual OS booting. We’re using (Inel) Mini Macs. I would like Apple to provide a reliable fix or quite selling junk. Anybody with a real everyday reliable verified fix please email and let us know.

The new (cabled) Apple aluminum keyboard Option/alt key does not work to initialize Bootcamp. The plastic Apple keyboard works fine. I downloaded the latest driver from the Apple website, but to no avail. Suggestions?
