[SOLVED] standard windows usb keyboard on G4 help

[heatherval]

Hi
i recetly had gotten a powermac G4
i know nothing about them

How can i get to a set up screen using a standard Windows USB keybaord
since i dont understand the keyboard mapping of the Mac

For example how do i get to the set up screen so i can change settings for
which drive boots up first etc,where is the command key etc on a standard USB keybaord

i just discovered by holding the Alt key down a screen comes up with only the
arrrow pointing right and a refresh icon which you are all familar with i am sure.

i had tried several IDE hard drives only one and nothing changes when i hit the arrow key
are there any other screens i can access using a standard USB keyboard.

i am not using any jumpers on the drive as i am only using one at the moment
i still have yet to see some kind of settings menu like Bios

Yes i also get the question mark icon that means i have no OS installed
or no Boot device selected to boot the OS from.
Thank You
