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.

Giles: I suspect your mother would want to... put it on the 
refrigerator. 
Buffy: Yeah. She saw these scores and her head spun around and 
exploded. 
Giles: I've been on the Hellmouth too long, that was metaphorical,
yes? 
Buffy: Yes.
