I haven't tried that yet, but I did try something else that seemed
to behave the same way: I booted the OI-hipster-gui-20170502 DVD on
the same hardware.

I first got the loader screen.  It booted with the default configuration.
These messages appeared on the screen:

    SunOS Release 5.11 Version illumos-... 64-bit

I assume those EHCI and OCHI messages were for my keyboard and mouse.
In any case, the keyboard was dead at that point.  After a very long
pause, the keyboard types appeared on the screen, along with this
message:

    To select the keyboard layout, enter a number [default 47]:_

Of course, I couldn't enter anything on the keyboard.  I had to hold
down the power button to recover.

I had legacy USB support enabled in the BIOS, but when I disabled it
and tried the boot again, I got exactly the same behavior.
