Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Installing Gnewsense on Macbook Air, keyboard dead during install

[Loïc Vaumerel]

Hi,

I remember having similar issue on a desktop machine.
I solved the problem by disabling UEFI boot (switch to the legacy boot 
mode at the BIOS/UEFI level).
The trick (pluging a USB keyboard) also worked for me with another 
hardware but not a MAC.
Unfortunately, I don't know MAC at all (not free enough to me :-)).
Good luck in your install.
If you find a solution, please keep us posted. It may be interesting to 
add a MAC section in the install guide.

Regards
Loïc
