This error simply means that the kernel did not find a pckbd(4) keyboard on your machine. It is normal since your console keyboard is connected through USB. But since the USB subsystem has not been discovered yet, you cannot use your keyboard. > > What can I do to help debug this? I don't know if it is possible to call the firmware for input on amd64, that's what macppc is doing at this stage. Another crazy idea would be to have a limited USB support for handling inputs. But it's not a trivial task.
