Same here (QEMU). I was able to get past this by using j instead of enter/return. > Hitting return repeatedly or trying to select "Yes" or "Go Back" also > doesn't work, Yes. It appears that ADB keycodes have come into effect during installation (root gives 2==3, f4 gives up-arrow). The window borders went cyrillic, possibly at the same time that the keymap got messed up. (See attached screenshot.) Looking through the installer log, I found this: Jun 10 06:41:17 in-target: Setting up console-setup-linux (1.191) ... Jun 10 06:41:21 in-target: Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/keyboard-setup.service -> /lib/systemd/system/keyboard-setup.service.

Jun 10 06:41:30 in-target: Setting up console-setup (1.191) ... Jun 10 06:41:47 in-target: Processing triggers for systemd (241-4) ... That service file claims to set the keymap and console font: /target # cat usr/lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service [Unit] Description=Set console font and keymap DefaultDependencies=no After=console-screen.service kbd.service local-fs.target RequiresMountsFor=/usr ConditionPathExists=/bin/setupcon [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/lib/console-setup/console-setup.sh RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Digging a bit deeper, we find this: /target # cat /etc/default/keyboard # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. XKBMODEL="macintosh_old" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" BACKSPACE="guess" I found the man page here: https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/keyboard-configuration/keyboard.5.en.html It turned out that changing $XKBMODEL to "pc105" didn't actually help when I booted into /target. So I've no idea how to fix this. I'll try again in Aranym. --
