So, how do I do that?

boot while holding the interupt switch, in the same manner as if you
were performing a firmware upgrade, except keep it down even after the
long tone is heard, after a certain ammount of time you can i think
press command option p r (to reset the nvram) or command option o f to
enter OF.  im not sure of the details, when i did it had a black
screen after the tone, i pressed command option p r and it immediatly
rebooted and all was fine after that.  previously no keyboard input
was accepted at all, all i had was a startup tone, black screen and
nothing.
