There are some references, over a period of time, for some vintage
hardware models of Apple computers covering older software and
the keyboard commands haven't changed all that much. Some are
more directed at later OS X versions, in recent reference sites...

Why were you trying to start in Single user mode or Command-line?
Do you have the OS X system install-restore DVDs?
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
