Using a USB keyboard at the root mount prompt

Hi,

I just updated to the latest -CURRENT and installed the GENERIC kernel; 
I forgot to add support for the ahci driver and thus got dropped to the 
root mount prompt when I rebooted. Despite ukbd0 having been detected 
just before, the keyboard didn't work so I had to reboot and use 
kernel.old instead. Should USB keyboards work at that stage of the boot 
process?
