I have boot camp and the Parallels beta installed. Everything works but when I choose Windows XP with the option key and then need to choose Windows Xp to use boot camp I do not have any keyboard support. I can't use the arrows or the enter key to start Windows. I can plug a keyboard in and that works. Am I supposed to have the MBP keyboard in the beta? Thanks.

Macbook Pro keyboard not working at boot
- Thread starter failsafe1
- Start date
A Macrumors post on this topic yielded this info.
I had this problem in my 2.33 c2d MBP too.
boot up XP in parallels, and change the boot.ini timeout to 10 rather than the -1 that it is. this is in system properties\advanced tab\startup and recovery settings.
also change the timeout for the profiles selector to 10. this is under system properties\hardware tab\hardware profiles.
make sure for both that your default profile/choice is the default (bootcamp) config. when it loads into bootcamp u will get full functionality. whenever you boot into parallels, make sure u select the parallels option both times.
