Unable to use mouse or keyboard from anyboot image

I dd’d the anyboot image to disk and it boots up fine, but I can’t move the cursor, click, or interact with my keyboard. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to do with the anyboot image; is there even documentation on this?

it would really help yourself if you told the community what hardware you were booting Haiku on.

Certainly. This page gives more information than I could list:

What should happen after booting the disk image? Or rather, did I not follow the correct procedure?

I saw some references to disabling plug n play in bios; that was my problem. Thanks for replying.
