Macintosh Computers do not have BIOS, they use OpenFirmware.
You can get into OpenFirmware using this Key Sequence at startup: Apple - Option - O - F
Hold down all 4 keys and turn on your Mac, keep holding them down until you hear two chimes.
The OpenFirmware looks like this:
-----------------------------------------ok
0>-----------------------------------------
here are a few commands you can use in OpenFirmware
mac-boot (This will boot your computer using the default boot disk)eject cd (This will eject any CD or DVD that may be in the optical drive)shut-down (This will shutdown your computer)

How to enter bios

Macs do not have a BIOS to enter. The equivalent would be the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) to access this (Open Firmware, hence O and F key combination) press Command-Option-O-F keys during startup.

Be careful if and make sure you know exactly what you're doing.

Hope that helps!

Primary usb port

USB thumb drives give you the ability to mobilize information, but they also have the power to act as a boot disk for both Windows and Mac computers. If you have a bootable thumb drive that you want to boot your computer from, you can easily set it up in the BIOS menu of your Windows computer or through the boot menu in Mac's OSX.

Plug your USB thumb drive into the computer. Boot the computer and follow the on-screen prompt to enter the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) menu. You should "Press a certain key Usually the DEL or the F2 key to enter BIOS setup" or something similar when you turn your computer on. Follow the directions to enter the BIOS menu. Scroll over to the "Boot" menu in the BIOS screen. Change the primary boot device to USB port or something similar depending on your BIOS menu. Restart the computer with the USB thumb drive in the USB port. b> Mac b> Plug your USB drive into your Mac's USB port. Turn on the computer while holding down the "Option" button on your keyboard. Wait for the boot menu to appear with all of your bootable devices shown. Use the mouse to select your USB thumb drive from the boot menu. Wait for the computer to boot using your thumb drive. Hope this helps.

How to enter the BIOS

The MacBook systems use Intel's Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) rather than the traditional Macintosh ROM or PC BIOS.
So, no such thing as going into the BIOS for advanced setup on Intel Macs (like you can on a PC).
