Well, this is progress as before the keyboard did not work at all!

When you get to the keymap list, please select <go back>. Next, you should get the debian-installer main menu. If you select the keyboard selection again, you should get a question about the type of keyboard. What are the available options? Which option is default? Could you try different combinations (like selecting USB keyboard with US keymap and German keymap or selecting SUN keyboard with different keymaps). Does any of those get you a keyboard with working arrow keys, enter key and console switching? (Background info: the usb-mac-us keymap is actually an AT keymap and not an USB keymap at all; that is why I ask you to also try the usb-mac-german keymap.) Cheers, FJP
