Slightly off topic but just for the files and maybe it helps the 
original poster - while a good old IBM Model M keyboard works perfectly 
AIX doesn't like a Logitech wireless keyboard at all ( a USB thingie 
with a PS/2 adaptor, it's ok in OpenFirmware but AIX would switch to a 
serial console leaving the screen black with just an 
unmoving/unblinking cursor top left ).

hope that helps
