You may need to get a boot disk from Nate Williams; is this a PS/2 style keyboard interface? Do you know if the keyboard starts in mode 3? This may be settable via advanced CMOS setup. You probably need the keyboard controller to explicitly set mode 1. I know the pccons (pc0 instead of sc0) code should do this. If you can't contact Nate directly, then try reposting under a subject like: "Keyboard lockup on PS/Valuepoint boot -- anyone have same?" To make it less easy to dismiss as an install problem.
