Keyboard is Type7 USB. It may be that the installer is completely missing support for either USB keyboards for sparc, or type7 keyboards. In either case, I'm not sure that using a daily build of the installer is going to change anything over the Etch version. OTOH, USB modules should be available and the keymaps we use on sparc are regular AT keymaps, which work with type5 keyboards (non-USB). What may be missing is the usbhid kernel module. We can still fix the daily version before the release of Lenny, but will need more info for that. We'd first need to fix the boot issue and then the keyboard issue. Cheers, FJP
