It's command-option-o-f & I _know_ it works on a B&W G3 ;)

boot hd:9,yaboot command (or whatever ID # is relevant)

(to some "command" is known as the Apple key... I think (I could be
completely wrong but this has been my personal experience) mostly by the
people who came into Mac through the LC/consumer series).
