The keyboard usually works on the boot menu as the bios is in control.
So, exit the menu to load the kernel modules you need, usb, ukbd and
uhid I think should do. Then boot into single user mode.

For next time, this happens, I suggest you build a kernel with usb
keyboard support built in. I think the GENERIC kernel now supports usb
keyboards by default, which explains why the boot option has been removed.

Cheers, Erik
