Same experience as Vincent McIntyre reported. "Choose language" screen is 
displayed but the keyboard still doesn't work. Booting in expert mode 
didn't help. Maybe my suggestion was a shot in a wrong direction?

Now another question: I know that there is a preseeding mechanism.
How can I specify to d-i the option to select USB keyboard instead
of Sun keyboard? I found a key "kbd-chooser/kbd/usb" (or maybe it's 
a parameter?) but I don't have any clue of how to provide this for d-i.
And yes, I've read the docs on the CD, but there is only information
on how to generate preseeding file and download it from specific URL.
Alas, this involves a functioning keyboard :-/
Which is exactly the problem I try to address.

I'm open for further experimentation :-)
