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.
A boot that is frozen in computer language means that a computer started to boot but the screen froze during the boot process. If this happens it might fix the problem if the computer is unplugged for a few seconds and then restarted in Safe Mode.
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).
Firstly, try and boot in safe mode. If that does not work, repair your O/S with a CD.
They are the files that your computer call on to start up, or "boot." without these, the computer cannot function properly.
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 you restart it in the menu with the mouse or keyboard then it's a "Soft" or normal reboot. If you have to restart with the power button (or restart button on older Macs) on the side of computer case then its a "Hard" reboot.
start the computer in safe mode and roll back the driver
boot to Last Known Good Configuration
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.

what is computer boot sector
If after seeing the Apple Logo and suddenly shuts down, resetting the motherboard may not be the answer. Check the simplest things first: Power cord snug... on both ends? Powerstrip working properly? Next, unplug every peripheral, including the keyboard and mouse. Start the machine. If finishes booting, then plug in the mouse. Make sure it works. Plug in the keyboard. Make sure it works properly. Reboot the machine. If it goes back to not booting up properly, it is most likely the keyboard that needs to be replaced, though unlikely, it may be the mouse. If the machine still did not startup correctly (to the Finder) with everything unplugged, it is a fault on the motherboard and/or the the power supply and needs to be replaced.
