[NFBCS] Boot manager failed

Wed Sep 28 20:47:22 UTC 2022

I fixed it!  Aira helped me, and it wasn't really too hard.  
Thanks everyone for your advice and encouragement.
Tracy

Tracy:

As this is done prior to the mouse driver being loaded, that little rodent probably wouldn't work here anyway. When I've had to do this in the past, the keyboard can be used to accomplish these tasks.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jim.
I have Aira, but they won't be able to click anything.  Are we talking getting directions for me to point a mouse?  I've done that.  It ain't pretty, but it did work.  Is that what I have to do?

Oh hey Tracy,

You could try using Be My Eyes, Aira, FaceTime, or your friend, etc. But, you will need visual assistance.

Hope that helps,

Jim
