Frozen recovery screen on Mac mini with M4 chip after HD erase
Following Macintosh HD erase and restart, my Mac Mini with a Silicon Chip displays a recovery screen but appears to freeze.
The MM does not connect to a Bluetooth mouse or Bluetooth keyboard. Thus, I cannot access any of the recovery options. MM sits there with the (frozen) recovery screen showing.
I have tried the power cord out/press and hold power button to cause the orange flashing light to display on the MM, but nothing changes with that. Because the keyboard is not connected, I cannot try other suggested power-up schemes such as left, control, option/right command, and power buttons.
The attached screen shot demonstrates whis displays on the screen.
