Hi

Today I tried installing mac osx snow leopard by following this iboot tutorial.
Everything went good until the very first mac osx installation window appeared (where it says to choose language). My keyboard was not working at all. The numlock/capslock were also not working they were frozen.
I completed all the installation with mouse and then pc restarted.
After showing that welcome animation it showed the window that mac can not detect any keyboard. plug in keyboard.
There wasnt any next or skip button.
So that's where I am stuck right now.

What can I do now?

Should I but a cheap 2-3$ usb keyboard? will it solve the problem?

Or I should get Mountain Lion and install it with unibeast's "laptop support" kext?

I have tried this -f bootflag.
even in -f bootflag console the keyboard doesnt work.

My specs are written under my avatar picture.

A USB Keyboard is highly recommended and is in "Apple's" eyes required. And since we are installing a Apple OSX OS I would suggest finding a USB keyboard that works.
Apple stopped support for PS2 keyboard connectivity when OSX Snow Leo 10.6.x was released.

Now not just any USB keyboard will work. I have had several that didn't work.
Suggest some research or trial by error!

See if you can get it local and inquire about a return or exchange !!!!
