Not sure what you mean by this.  This may indicate a system that does not
support CD native booting.  It might work with an ElTorito CD.

if you set flag 0x1 on atkbd0 it should get around this issue.
If the BIOS has a Legacy USB Keyboard feature, try disabling that.

Setting flags in 5.X involves tweaking hints which is slightly
non-inutitive, but you should be able to change it in userconfig on 4.X.
