The standard (non-serial) console is broken (with regards to input at
least) in 5.3. There are at least two problems;
1) cursor keys don't work correctly, making navigating with them
impossible.
2) you must type very slowly, or else characters will be lost.
That said, yoy *might* be able to install via normal console. Me, I
always used the serial console for the installation.
Gooid luck!
