Can you borrow a DOS boot disk from anywhere (or try the FreeDOS project). If it's a USB keyboard, I'm guessing that there isn't enough support anywhere for the keyboard to work until Linux has booted a long way. Try looking for USB legacy support in your BIOS. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to @westexe.demon.co.uk | realise that you are in a hurry.
