Gad... where do I start?

I goto install... get to the "Press f1 for other options OR Enter to
proceed".  I hit either of those *Enter or F1* keyboard works fine. 
After that, I have NO keyboard OR mouse. :\

I even tried to use the mouse as a ps/2 then picked the USB module...
ummmmm can we say "Frozen mouse?" :)  Nothing.  No joy.

So, now I'm thinking "I'll just use both as a Ps/2 device" it worked but
why would I want to use them as PS/2 when I hate that protocol anyway!?
