Before you get away, Eduard: what if anything do I need to document
about this problem in the install manual? How about:
The USB keyboard driver subsystem on some machines doesn't start up
quickly enough during the boot process to be available when the prompt
is given to insert the root disk. If you have a USB keyboard and get
no response at the root disk prompt, try attaching a regular (AT)
keyboard in order to enter <Return>. Then the AT keyboard can be
detached.
