It is possible that you have a USB keyboard which may not always work at this point.

Yes, from the boot loader (see boot(8), userconf) and from boot.cfg you can give the commands that you can give to the userconf prompt. boot.cfg syntax looks a bit weird I think, since it requires a "keyword=..." style for everything, so you get something like "userconf=disable ehci*" (example taken from boot.cfg(5)) > Question two, assuming i get further, is there some guide to create a local > pkgsrc mirror and tell several machines in your network to sync to that > instead of a internet mirror(feels unnecessary to sync over internet if you > have 5+ machines)? Yes that is possible too. Check pkg_install.conf(5) for the setting PKG_PATH. pkgin has its own settings in /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf.
