I have a feeling someone else faced a similar problem somehwat recently
(say in the last 6-12 months) and there was a boot parameter that sorted
it for them. I'm afraid I don't remember details. The closest I have
personally come to this is finding a Bluetooth keyboard not working at
that stage, but a wired USB keyboard did work. That was a release or two
of Jessie ago.
I'd suggest that Google will make short work of searching the archives
of this list to find the answer.
