iMac9,1 Fusion Drive - booting in recovery mode

Hi,

after installing a Fusion Drive on my iMac early 2009 3.06Ghz with ML 10.8.2, i'm not able to boot into recovery mode by hold cmd+R.

The temporary solution is press cmd+R just after resetting the NVRAM with cmd+option+P+R.

This operation must be repeated each time i want to go into the recovery.

I don't know if this is a bug of my iMac. 🙂

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Yes, i made a "Fusion Drive" by joining my SSD 256GB + HHD 1TB. I follows one of some guides presents on the web. The system works well apart that i'm not able to reboot in recovery mode on startup with cmd+R.

At the end the "Fusion Drive" is only two core storage volume fused togheter nothing of new.

For the new mac mini this software technology is already available to the public and my fusion drive works like mac mini's "Fusion Drive" (read this: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/fusion-drive-quick-look-our-predictions-con firmed/)
