Yes. See:

Basically your system is set up for a SUN keyboard layout, but the 2.6 
kernel only supports PC-type keyboard layouts.

You can use the installer as a kind of rescue system [1]. After you do 
'chroot /target', run 'dpkg-reconfigure console-common' and select 'Keep 
kernel keymap'. That should allow you basic use of the keyboard after 
rebooting into the installed system again.
