Why was the installer taking raw debconf protocol to you?
No idea. I just said: expert bootkbd=jp106 at the bootprompt and that's what I got. Note though, that this happened not only with the beta2 installer but also with the 20060525 snapshot. I've had a look at the logs in /var/log/installer, but the only odd thing I could find was this (from beta2, note line marked with >): Jun 3 06:26:12 kernel: Probing IDE interface ide1...

When that "SET debian-installer/keymap jp106" is shown on the screen I can not switch VTs. The three finger salute works, though. # Cmpletely unrelated, my system clock is running at double speed. # Mighty annoying. It seems to be a well-known and old problem, though.
