keyboard incorrectly mapped on boot.iso images

Todays installer boot.iso images are causing a problem with my notebook 
(hp omnibook 4150). At the boot: prompt, all keys entered are displayed 
correctly.
: linux text
or
: enter  (for gui)
I choose ftp or http setup, then at the FTP Setup name/directory prompt, 
when I try to type I get things like:
type displays:
w    z
a    q
m    ,
z    w
q    a
numbers are screwed. (need to hold shift to see numbers).
all the punctation and symbols aren't so good either.

It could just be an RW CD gone bad, so let me know if you can repeat 
this, and I'll bz it.

If I type the wrong keys to get the right letters, the installer does 
proceed with the correct text entered. (but text mode fails due to no 
sqlite:
