Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the 2.4 kernel based boot floppies can handle this. Check the boot-floppies mailing list archives, but I know it's come up before. Does the BIOS not provide legacy support? (makes the USB keyboard + mouse appear as standard devices). You make have to pass some kernel options on boot up. Can't remember, but I'm sure it can be done.
