This is a dangerous attitude, frinstance, holding down Tab at the same
time will erase an inserted disk. As it turns out,
Option-Command-Shift-Delete is the sequence you would use for booting
off of a floppy and not mounting any attached SCSI disks.
	Holding down Option-Command will do fine for rebuilding the
desktop.
