 Have a go without the boot variable: that was intended to 
disable the Bluetooth adapter from installing a pseudo-USB 
keyboard. The PCI enumeration may have changed with the new 
powerbooks so that slot number is the USB OHCI port 
controlling the keyboard.

 In addition, a verbose boot may also pick up what's going 
wrong.
