@ar i mean sure, but the re-plug is easy enough (you just have to do it while it's still waiting for rootfs...)
another very funny thing was getting into the openfirmware console here, because the R and F keys do not work, and the external keyboard i had did not have the super key, and you need super+alt+o+f, so you press the super/command key on the laptop keyboard and the other 3 keys on the external one
if it works it works lol
