Installation - keyboard not working

I need some help

I'm trying to install Arch on an old computer I have here. The thing is, when it asks me to login, the keyboard doesn't respond. Actually, it does for like 2 seconds, which is not enough for me to login as root and get the installer running... Don't know if this is relevant, but I'm using a portuguese ps/2 keyboard and I've tried different keyboards.

EDIT: Just tested it on my laptop and everything was fine, the keyboard was working as it should.

Re: Installation - keyboard not working

Don't know why, but I've just tried it again in my old computer and and the keyboard is working, in fact, I'm installing Arch right now! Perhaps the Plop floppy that I used to get the usb drive to boot as interfering with the keyboard, as this time I've removed it as soon as Arch's boot menu came up... Anyway, as weird it might sound, it was not working and now is,
