"Deutche Industrie Norm" Round plug like PS/2 but larger, used for very
old x86 keyboards. Much like (if not even equal to) the hi-fi plugs
before phono.

The easy approach is to install hotplug in the lessdisks chroot. That
may eat up too much memory on your old machine, though - so do this:
1) Install hotplug in your lessdisks chroot
2) edit your your /etc/lessdisks/terminals/<terminal_name>:
runlevel=2
3) boot the diskless client and do an lsmod
4) edit your your /etc/lessdisks/terminals/<terminal_name>:
runlevel=4
modules="uhci_hcd psmouse"
(adjust the above to the actual list of USB- and mouse-related modules
- - quite possibly more is needed, and the order of them is important
too. Sorry, I have no concrete example, but I am positive it will work)
5) Remove hotplug from your diskless chroot
6) Boot your diskless client and hope it works...
