Boot problem

I've tried to boot my PC clone (DX-33MHz,4MB RAM,3.5in floppy,AMIBIOS)
using a number of different verions of boot disk (from 95c+ and up)
but always get the same problem.
(the boot disk works fine on an Elonex SX-25Mhz)

The keyboard does not appear to work eg when asked to type return it has
no effect. I can get an "any other key" by pressing the "print screen"
key but after that I'm stuck since I can't type return to load the root
disk.

Has anyone had similar problems and more importanly is there some fix.

Thanks

        Gerry
(this is a bit depressing since I bought the pc to run linux)
