Ooops - so much for planning ahead ;-)
In the web page it refers to adding keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1
in quik.conf or yaboot.conf neither of which I use. Do I put this in

No, there isn't any lilo or lilo.conf for powerpc, AFAIK. If neither
of those, then you must be using BootX? Just type it into the boot
arguments box.
For the two .conf files you mentioned, the syntax is
append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
in the image section. For quik and yaboot, you can also type out the
additional boot argument after the image name and a space. For
example,
boot: Linux keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1
Also I'm still stuck in the install so can't issue shutdown or edit
anything (gracefully or otherwise)?
That's why I referred you to the web page. It explains what the broken
equivalents are for most keys, for example halt= p]j3<F5>.
To abort the process that's running (Ctrl-c):
Hold <F6> and type m
