I've never seen such behaviour when using a keyboard attached to a machine,
but perhaps that's because I almost always do installations via serial
console.  I've seen the behaviour you describe, but only when using an
incorrectly wired serial cable installing OpenBSD/hppa (installation kernel
would boot, but the kernel wouldn't accept any serial console input).

Perhaps give serial console another go - set your terminal program to
96008N1 and you should be able to connect. I've had good results using
minicom, but cu will also work fine.
