Extremely puzzled

[Steve Holmes]

Well, befor reinstalling, might wanna get out your install disks and
boot up like you're gonna reinstall and then mount the root
partition.  In fact, if there are no other user accounts defined on
your system yet, just replace the /etc/password and shadow files with
ones from the RAM disk environment you would be presently in and you
could then login with no password and reset it.  

Yes, I have installed slackware numerous times and I never choose a
keyboard.  I never saw a rc.keyboard file but that sounds like a good
trick to recover.  I guess that only gets created if one chooses a
non-standard keyboard.  Now I understand there's a bigger challenge
for non-US keyboard users who want speakup keys because speakup
keyboards weren't built for non-US configurations that I know of.
