Suggestions:

(1) The " No mouse and ctrl and cursor keys do nothing" suggests to me a
video driver problem; try booting to VGA or GENGRADD via SciTech. I
realize that VGA is not useful but the point is to get the system
operational.

(2) I assume that you are using a very *generic* mouse and keyboard aka
PS/2 connectors? And that you are not using a non-GA mouse driver?

(3) Some more information is always useful: which OS/2? Fixpacks? at the
very least, regardless of posting here or say on the OS/2 Hardware Mailing
list............

And don't forget you are on the cutting edge. :)
