If any inputs are being sent via the Bluetooth keyboard before the controllers are active, then they will not be recognized by the system. These are then passed to the OS X kernel to invoke the desired startup sequence. It is at this point that the system will accept boot variables, either stored in the PRAM or those being sent via keyboard inputs.
