Well, you could remaster the ISO image, and modify the isolinux.cfg file so it says "timeout 1". Then it'll boot past that point without a keypress and the installer should load keyboard drivers before prompting any more. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify Alternatively if you can set up netbooting, you can modify the pxelinux.cfg similarly, and not have to worry about the CD remastering process. -- see shy jo
