 As soon as you see
 
 	Keyboard: no
 
 Hit the space key, and you get the "boot:" prompt.  Type "-Dh" and
 return.  Then, you will be all right.
 
 For the record, would you describe your system for us?
 Motherboard, CPU, keyboard, etc.

State-Changed-Why:  
Could you let us know whether Mr Yokota's suggestion works, because 
I've bene suggesting to people that they download a copy of the  
boot disk that doesn't use the -P boot option and his suggestion 
will save people a lot of time if it works for you. :-)

 Umm, there should be three seconds delay before the boot block finally
 decides to use the serial console.... (When you see "_", it is
 supposed to be waiting for three seconds before loading the boot
 loader.)
 
 Anyway, hold down the space key BEFORE the "keyboard: no" message and
 keep it down until you see the boot block prompt.

Originator says he's gotten things working, although the way he did
