No idea. I just said:
expert bootkbd=jp106
at the bootprompt and that's what I got.
Note though, that this happened not only with the beta2 installer but
also with the 20060525 snapshot.
I've had a look at the logs in /var/log/installer, but the only odd
thing I could find was this (from beta2, note line marked with >):

For the rest there are two mentions of bootkbd=jp106 when the kernel
command line is logged before the above extract from the syslog file.
When that "SET debian-installer/keymap jp106" is shown on the screen I
can not switch VTs. The three finger salute works, though.
# Cmpletely unrelated, my system clock is running at double speed.
# Mighty annoying. It seems to be a well-known and old problem, though.
Hope this helps,
