Ah hah. So, right after configuring the keyboard. I suspect you've
been hit with
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/keycodes
Probably, by using a kernel in BootX to boot the installer which has
ADB keycodes configured, and the current root.bin expects the kernel
that comes with the installer, which has linux keycodes configured.
Check your selections carefully in BootX's settings, re-choose the
files and make sure they're from the folder where you put the new
files.
If it still doesn't fly, try the boot argument from the page above.

Option-F2 with linux keycodes and the installer's keymap.
