4.9 install disks and USB keyboard?

[stan]

I tried to boot a amchine with a USB keyboard off of the 4.9 install
floppies the other day, and it did not recognize the leyboard for the
"press enter" after I inserted the 2nd floppy.

This is my first machine with a USB keyboard, I;ve used USB mice sucesfully
on 4 STABEL before.

Am I missing a tep here?
