I was able to fix it today.
I mistakenly thought the bios was bricked (since keyboard did not respond 
and it did not get past the bios splash screen),
today I sat down again, and now I feel stupid.
I simply hooked up a USB keyboard, and through that one I was able to get 
back into pmon.
So now everything works.
What i think happend was a bios setting that I reset, that caused the 
keyboard not to get initialized, then it got stuck there.

Anyways - I wanted to say its solved, just in case someone else is as 
stupid as myself one day.
