Some computers support both "PS/2" and "USB" inputdevices.
If there is only a PS/2 keyboard and the BIOS tells the kernel
there is USB keyboard support, then the kernel waits forever
for a keystroke from the not connected USB keyboard.
You can avoid those hangs by disabling USB _keyboard_ and USB _mouse_
support.
