Hi Bill,
I have a few thoughts on this. One...when you're using the MacOS 
installer, it *ONLY* mounts the root partition by itself. So if you 
double-click on it, and then proceed to install your software, it 
won't work. Because when the machine tries to boot, it will get to 
the point that it mounts /usr from sd0g...but that /usr has nothing 
in it, so any /usr/bin and /usr/sbin commands will not be visible. To 
fix that, you will need to go into the installer, and use the 
mini-root command to move the stuff that's in /usr, then mount sd0g 
on /usr, & move the stuff back in.

Another thought...make sure that devices are made.

A third thought is to be sure that serial console is not enabled 
anywhere in the booter App...otherwise it will switch to that, and 
won't be listening on the keyboard or showing the console.

HTH
Mike
