 I have verified that a generic PS/2 keyboard (an IBM) connected through 
 a PS/2-USB dongle does not work either.

 None of the boot steps see the USB keyboard; not boot0 or boot2.

 Once I have the usbd daemon in place (using the alternative install 
 process [shifting the HDD]), then the keyboards are useful and the 
 system is useable, after it is fully booted.
