If you installed grub or lilo, you should be able to pass boot time kernel 
options. Pass the option "single" to the -27 kernel. This should give you a 
single login screen. Edit /etc/inittab and change the default runlevel to 
3. Save and reboot. Now you should get normal terminals after boot. Try 
starting X from there, so you can switch terminals to check for X errors to 
see why your keyboard isn't working.
