Hi,

I previously had Lucid running and downloaded the latest Maverick to do a clean install on my Macbook 3,1, but I am receiving this when I try to boot into the Maverick CD:

----------
1.

2.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type :
-----------

There is no text after the 1. and the 2., and the keyboard is non-functional. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I found this too. I also found this is a confirmed bug, it got found late in the cycle and it only affects the 64-bit versions, because its something to do with EFI.

You have to download the "Port" release at:

Here's the bug report if you're interested
