Title: Boot prompt on non-US (UK) keyboard?

Just received my NEXT cube that I caught on ebay and am trying to reset the root password.

I google'd the relevant docs and they all say to hold down the right Command and ~ (tilde) keys - problem is that this machine came with a UK keyboard and the tilde is behind Alt, and so I am unable to get the box to give me a boot prompt.

Anybody know the correct key combo for getting the boot prompt up on a non-US NEXT cube?

I would try the tilda location on the US keyboard.  So upper-left most key on the keypad.  I hope this helps.
