Boot options / video resolution

[jpipitone]

I've installed OS X x86 on my Intel P4 machine - I've installed the line C:\chain0="Mac OS X" into my boot.ini file and I can boot into OS X that way.

 

My question is, how can I view various boot options - people tell me to boot with the -v switch to view errors.

 

Is it as simple as hitting F8 after I select Mac OS X at the screen that prompts me?

 

Also, I have an Apple 23 inch Cinema Display that I'd like to get working - It has a DVI port in the back - what's the probability that the resolution will be correct if I plug in the display to my video card? I'm not sure how to set the correct resolution (1920x1200)

 

Can anyone help?

I was right - hitting F8 after I choose Mac OS X in my bootloader doesn't do anything.....can anyone help?
