You can also hold down command+r for several seconds right after the chime is
heard. I have enough sight to see when the partition comes up so I can then
press command+F5 and use standard navigation to access all parts of the disc
utility. The only issue is that, in the recovery partition, there is no way to
access the menu bar that let's you get into the wifi list. ctrl+F8 doesn't work
to get this menu as it does in the full install, nor does VO+MM.
Not sure if there is any way around this.
