There is a known problem with the german keymap: working on it in console-keymaps-ps2.
As for the prompting of different types of kbd, On the cdrom install, we should
autoload the usb modules ASAP, which would allow us to autodetect whether a
USB keyboard is present or not.
Thenm we ccan remove the 'USB' option if it isn't.
(Minor bug: if we know the user isn't using a serial console, then drop the
"no keyboard" option -- they must have one to have got that far. This would
enable the whole question to go away,
as there might only be one option (PS2).
I'll include that in the next fix.
If we use a 2.5/2.6 kernel, then we have full autodetect of
keyboards. (not proposing that we do so at this stage).
