Hi,
I found d-i won't progress when I use tftpboot with USB keyboard (non
BIOS PS/2 emulation).
Of course d-i is loaded, but because syslinux timeout is defined as
infinite and control of USB keyboard is already passed to OS instead
of BIOS, so I couldn't input Enter key and start progress.
(By changing timeout value of tftp configuration, I can succeed.)
IMHO it is better to all syslinux has appropriate timeout value (1
minute?).
I found "set the syslinux timeout to 0 on floppys, to match the CD" by
JoeyH in debian-installer's changelog. Does timeout cause a trouble?
Thanks,

I tried to reproduce, but problem is gone.
I don't know why this is solved (maybe I was donkey?), but at
least there is no meaning to remain this bug.
Sorry JoeyH for spending your time.
