Comments/Problems:
After booting, the USB keyboard is not working. I think that the "Sun
keyboard" variant is auto-selected. Which is wrong.
It should be "USB keyboard".
I have a working sarge d-i image, dated 20040511, where at least I am able
to go back to the main d-i menu and select keyboard layout as desired.
Soon after that date it stopped working completely.
I already described this abnormal behavior in bug #248855.
I submitted more info five days ago (as Joey Hess kindly asked me),
but it seems that nobody cares.
<bitter mode="on">
Hel-looo there! d-i is broken!
For almost half of a year...
It's so sad.

I hope this can be resolved in reasonable time. I am willing to help.
We have here 10 (ten) such SunBlade 150 machines. I can spare some
more time now to test this or that.
Best regards,
Wiktor Wandachowicz
