10.6: Single User Mode and Bluetooth keyboards

Snow Leopard only hintIt used to be that a USB keyboard was needed to start my iMac in Single User Mode - that has changed.

Today my iMac 27" shut down while I was out. I restarted holding down Cmd+S on my Bluetooth keyboard, but forgot to plug in the USB. Lo and behold, the iMac started in SUM anyway, so I'm guessing that the feature was introduced in 10.6.6 - I haven't seen mention of it anywhere.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. It is a long-needed and welcome improvement and it's good to see it finally implemented. I never got a Bluetooth keyboard because of limitations like the one mentioned here. I may change my mind about that now.]
