This one is in bugzilla already--Adam filed it. I ran into it on a virtual
machine and was having trouble getting in to edit it--when I hit e to edit,
I had a blank textbox. Eventually, after hitting c for command line, which
took me to grub prompt, escape and going back to e, I finally got something
in the text box and was able to type in the word, single. (Adam suggested
using a rescue CD and mounting it instead, which is probably far easier).
Didn't have the same issues with the keyboard, but I chose default US
English.
Solved: (was my mistake)! I forgot to move the selected keyboard layout
to the top of the keyboard selection window (usage of the ^ key).
