It would be helpful to mention that you first need to enter:

fsck -yf

To check file system & correct errors.
Then enter:

mount -uw /

To mount the drive before it is possible to apply the command line above.

In my case holding down the option key did not work either. I am guessing it is because my mac mini does not like my logitech USB keyboard.

could you not just hold down the option key on startup? That should give you the boot menu. This is a neat trick you've found regardless…
