[CLUE-Tech] Simple Keyboard Question

I have an MS Natural Keyboard with a standard PS/2 plug.

I also tried another MS PS/2 keyboard with the same results.  The keyboard 
will also work through the boot loader so I think that I have something 
either incorrect in one of the boot scripts or perhaps in the kernal.

Thanks.
