The mouse configuration utility does that sometimes. Try to cancel it

If you press any of the following, do your keyboard LEDs light up or
toggle: caps-lock, num-lock, or scroll-lock?
If yes, you've got keyboard input, if not, you've got a hosed console.
Shut down, restart, and restart the installation. Skip this particular
step if possible.

Probably need to replace /dev/mouse with /dev/psaux in
/etc/X11/XF86Config. /dev/mouse is just a symlink to whatever the real
mouse device is (ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse).
