I haven't extensively tested this since all of the ia64 machines I have
worked on have had PS/2 keyboards installed.

There is 2 parts. The first is support in the BIOS and EFI. I have not
tested this and I do not know if this works, but many ia32 machines do
support this and I expect ia64 machines to as well.

The second is the kernel. TurboLinux AFAICT compiles their kernels with
USB support. It should support USB keyboards during install and after
install. However, I have not tested this yet.

I don't know if RedHat has compiled USB support into their kernel, but I
suspect they do.
