You would then start your Mac back up. After the startup chime, hold down CMD-S until a black screen comes up. Once the black screen comes up, you can let go of CMD-S. The black screen should look like a Terminal window that fills the whole screen. At that point, you can run AppleJack. My understanding is that this the best and safest way to use AppleJack.
