 If you cannot find this option, it might be that it is always enabled  
 and you can continue. It also might mean that the BIOS does not  
 provide any emulation support (bad luck here).

 If you find the option and enable it, but the emulation stops working  
 soon after the kernel started, then you have bad luck too. You could  
 try the "bf2.4" flavor where the root floppy brings USB modules. If  
 you are installing with floppy disks, you would need the keyboard once  
 before the USB modules can be loaded. Specifying the "keytimer" option  
 at boot prompt may help in this case.

 Sometimes, the emulation hangs but it wakes up after few minutes, so  
 you could wait some time and try to continue. To fix this behavior,  
 you could load Linux' own drivers for USB keyboards. For this, use  
 "modconf" (Step "Configure Device Driver Modules") and load usb-uhci  
 or usb-ohci modules.
