When you boot your computer up and your mouse and keyboard do not respond what do you do?

First, if I had a wireless keyboard and mouse I would check the batteries in the mouse and/or the keyboard or check the wireless connection.
If it isn't wireless, then I would check that the USB's were plugged in correctly, if they are fine I would hold the power button on the computer until the computer shut down, count to ten, and restart the computer.

If the keyboard is unplugged will the computer boot properly?
no it will pause at the boot screen and tell you that you have a keyboard error. Simply shut down the Computer then connect the keyboard properly then reboot.
Do you need a mouse so the computer can boot?
A computer does not need to have any input or output devices plugged into it at all in order to boot, as long as it is configured to not stop on missing devices; the most common "stop error" for missing devices is a keyboard, and this can typically be disabled.

Newer computers do not allow you to boot without a keyboard?
You can boot with any computer without a keyboard unless you have multiple OS's installed and you set an option in your BIOS to where you have to select which OS you want to boot. False (to answer the question). Older computers refused to boot unless a keyboard was present. However, newer computers allow you to boot without a keyboard, and you can then plug in the keyboard after the boot. (taken from the "Notes" section - pg 458, seventh edition).

Does the boot sector give initial instructions when the computer is booted?
Kind of - It tells the computer to start up the initial files to get the computer 'up and running'. These are files such as driver programs for the display, keyboard, mouse, screen, printer etc, along with disk controllers, operating system and internet access programs.
Can a computer boot without an operating system?
Sure you could, as long as you didn't need to interact locally. A good example would be a router or firewall. Generally they have no interface, unless you access it from another computer via LAN or internet connection.
