BootMii boots but no remote works?

I have installed Bootmii and will boot but I have no remote to navigate. The lights on the remote blinks like its trying to connect to the wii but wont. I can power it up via the remote and it also connects when the sd card isnt in. If I do not try to boot into BootMii then everything works fine! Can anyone help please?

Wiimotes do not work in bootmii. Either use a gamecube controller or use the power/reset/eject buttons. This is explained in the FAQ on the bootmii download site.
