Richard said in the first post that he did that.

I assume. . . and you know what that implies:

He held down COMMAND, OPTION, P, and R with his left and right hands while he pressed the start button with his nose.

That procedure is machine dependent and has only to do with the startup ROM. It doesn't care what system is about to be loaded up. The level of zapping does depend on how many chimes you wait for before releasing the keys.
