I would recommend you to upgrade to the CVS version. There are fixes
in CVS that makes it possible to install win98 directly from cdrom,
and that is not possible with 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 - with them you will
have to boot from floppy during the installation phase.

And regarding the keyboard: I have no idea...
