I think where you are in the loading you don't need any keys.

I think you're wrong. I think you may be misunderstanding how soon in
the process I see the problem. This is the initial text screen. Where
it says "press [enter] to continue".

Tell me if your mouse works and can you click on the thing in the far left
bottom? It takes a long time to go on but just be patient.

As I understand it, there's no mouse driver loaded at this point.
There's certainly no mouse pointer visible. And I wouldn't expect to
see one.

Hi Dave, well your saying it is stopping before you see a pointer on your screen. That makes me think now that the loader thinks you have too little RAM to load in the usual way. You have few choices then. I think if FC6 loaded fine your better to get that back running.
