When booting using an USB 2 (USB 3 doesn't work) stick, I can reach the welcome screen but keyboard & trackpad are not working.

See included file for the USB typology.

Tested with hrev56521.

I'll see if I can attach a sys log, but I'm not sure how to do it:

  • will the syslog be added even when booting from USB?
  • is the partition where the syslog is written readable on a Windows/Mac machine?

will the syslog be added even when booting from USB?

Yes, as long as you get to the desktop successfully (and the USB stick is writeable.)

is the partition where the syslog is written readable on a Windows/Mac machine?

Probably not (maybe via FUSE but I don't know if anyone has gotten BFS-FUSE to work with OSXFUSE.) Linux can read BFS natively at least.
