When I do it, it goes straight to Mac OS Startup Disk Repair… I badly need a PRAM reset!

Verify that your keyboard works. If it does not then plug in a USB keyboard and hold the same keys on startup.

The preferable procedure and hold the keys down until you have heard THREE startup tones.

This is dependant on the age of your MAC.

Very early models have a button switch soldered to the logic board as well.
