Hello,

This question may have been asked a lot of time but I have the same 
problem, my USB keyboard works well with the loader, when the system has 
successfully booted but not in the single user mode.

I don't know if this matters but when the request

When prompted Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

comes, my keyboard didn't already show up in the kernel message, and the 
kernel still probe and attach devices after this message so the 
following output is printed :

When prompted Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:uhub3: 
6 ports with 6 removable, self powered
uhub7: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered

So here nothing possible to do, only shutdown by power button. I have 
heard a long time ago that legacy USB must be enabled in the BIOS and it 
is in mine.

This is reproducible all the time on 8.2-RELEASE

Cheers,
