Hey when the machine boots and you see the demon logo hit 6 and enter 'set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"'

I have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall doesn't respond at all, on any of the options i choose to boot from. The BIOS doesn't have an option for keyboard for me to make changes. dmesg output before the sysinstall screen says "atkdb0 [GIANT-LOCKED]".
