I calculate the evolution of Be and B abundances produced by cosmic rays generated by massive stars in the pregalactic phase of the universe. The inputs for calculation, i.e., the star formation rate and the nuclear abundances of cosmic rays, which I assume to be the same as those of the ISM, are taken from the results of a detailed cosmic chemical evolution model with its parameters best fitted from several items of observational information including an early reionization of the IGM by z similar to 15. I found that when the (6)Li plateau abundance observed in metal-poor halo stars originated in the pregalactic cosmological cosmic-ray nucleosynthesis, the Be and B simultaneously produced with (6)Li amount to the lowest levels ever detected in metal-poor halo stars. It is desirable to observe Be and B abundances in metal-poor halo stars with [Fe/H] <= -3 in order to elucidate the possibility of early (6)LiBeB production by pregalactic supernova cosmic-ray nucleosynthesis.
