Well, assuming you _do_ have a keyboard, you can always use tab to
select the OS in BootX. You might also hunt around and try to find
boot-capable USB card (don't ask _me_ where :) ).

This setup should work, since the conversion is only in
hardware. However, I can remember seeing lots of 3-button ADB mice in the
past .... I think Kensington makes/made a model or two. Check their
website or call them up and see if they have any left over.
