Hi. 2 workarounds: (1) Alter the kernel commandline (thanks Frans Pop): At the kernel command-line (SILO prompt) add these arguments: languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US console-keymaps-sun/keymap=sunkeymap so the whole commandline will look like (no line breaks): linux languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US console-keymaps-sun/keymap=sunkeymap (2) After the bootup, press Return 3 times: (a) When the installer boots, find a key that functions as Return (Right Arrow here; if this doesn't work for you, mess with it for a while, find it, reboot). (b) Using this, select the default entry at the first three screens (English, US, US keyboard). Now that you've selected the US keyboard, the keyboard layout is OK. (c) If you're not entirely happy with this country/language/keyboard selection, restart the installation process (e.g. by Alt-F2 switching to tty2, Return activating the shell, kill -9 debian-installer, Alt-F1 switching back).
