  SBM uses enhanced keyboard int 16h. Try to make SBM fall back to use
standard
int 16h.
  It's very easy, just modify the theme-us.asm file, find a line

"keyboard_type       db 0x10"

and change it to

"keyboard_type       db 0"

and recompile this theme file with nasm. and use sbminst to install this new
theme file.

sbminst -t theme-us.bin -d /dev/fd0

Read the documentation for details.

   It seems that SBM cannot support the Experimental CDROM yet. I don't know
what's
the matter. SBM uses a non-standard way to detect the ATAPI devices, is it
the problem?
  btw, SBM works very well in VMware.
