If you have an USB keyboard, you should not select the type5 keyboard.
See [1] for more information.

This is a known problem for the 2.4 kernel for which there is no easy
solution. An unofficial image [2] has been made available which a kernel
change that should solve it.
Also, a netboot installation using the 2.6 kernel is known to work with
the SunBlade 150; a very good report for that is also available on [2].
