5.3RC2 and USB keyboards install problems

[Ara]

Hello
I owe you a big hug. I was almost going to drop 5.3 because since first beta
I had this problem and no answer. I just rebooted and worked perfectly
I appreciate the tip

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

doesn't have an option for keyboard for me to make changes. dmesg output
before the sysinstall screen says "atkdb0 [GIANT-LOCKED]".
