My keyboard (on a switch also) works fine.  Perhaps your keyboard is flakey
or something.  You can try using a serial console long enough to get installed
etc.  You might try a 1.4.2_ALPHA snapshot kernel as well.

With NT, don't you need to load 'ARCSETUP' or something first to partition
the drive, then install NT?
