It doesn't respond to Shift-PgUp either, but this message happened to be
just before the root floppy prompt: Detected ADB keyboard, type ANSI.
And then it goes on to list the HID IDs for the keyboard and mouse.
I'm just not familiar with kernel drivers and configs at all, to know
which ones to tell you to turn on. But it definitely needs ide if it's
going to need disk access, and some keyboard help of some kind ...
