Can you try :
	init=/bin/sh

This skips the loading of the keymap and uses the kernel keymap instead.

If you can get a working keyboard with this, you can remount the root
partition read-write and install a different keymap from
/usr/share/keymaps using install-keymap. 

I guess the latest kernel needs keymaps from i386/qwerty (linux standard),
whereas the old kernels used to use those in mac/ (ADB?)

Once you have the correct keymap installed, you can reboot and see if that
helps.
