netgear m4250 cannot access uboot

The switch boots fine to a login in and everything but I cannot access the uboot command prompt.  Usually there is a prompt to press C to access the uboot but instead I get the gibberish below and then it boots to a normal login.

 

 

U-Boot 2016.05-00268-g035b7f9b75 (Jul 03 2022 - 17:35:27 +0530)VerNo=1.0.0.11

      Ok, will do and I noticed I said I was pressing C but I meant to say spacebar. I'll email them. Thanks for the reply.
