I'm afraid this is one of those rare instances where the computer is
putting it plain. Either your keyboard is not plugged in properly or you
have a hardware problem; and that could be a bad/loose keyboard
connector/cable, or a dead keyboard, or a problem with the keyboard input
on the motherboard.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and mouse, try connecting a regular
keyboard. It may then go through the boot-up process. I am using a logitech
wireless combo and every once in a while I get this message.
