Dataframe buffer / ioctl error

Configuration:
SUN e220R, - Belkin OmniView SUN adapter - Belkin Omnicube 4-port keyboard/mouse switch - AT keyboard and mouse.

Problem:
The installation of the SUN Operating Environment on a SUN Enterprise 220R machine is done from a CDROM drive. The Hard disks are reformatted and the system reboots normaly. When I execute boot CDROM - install for the installation of the Solaris 2.6 software and the system reboots, I get the following:

- NOTICE: Can't find driver for console framebuffer

- loadkeys: ioctl(KIOCLAYOUT):Timer expired

- cannot use the keyboard; pressing one key displays many times that character as if I am pressing the key
continuously. As a result I cannot login or do anything else.

Although the keyboard is a DELL AT keyboard connected via a BELKIN SUNadapter and a BELKIN multiport switch adapter, it works initialy during and after the installation of the operating environment.

Any kind of help will be appreciated
