I was having same problem as you. I have a 'Dell Dimention 8250' with microsoft intelli wireless keyboard. I took that out put the regular keyboard that came with Dell system. I also went and did one change in BIOS settings for Slackware to boot properly without hanging at "Keyboard Mapping". Do the following and it should solve the problem.

Hello,
I was having same problem as you. I have a 'Dell Dimention 8250' with microsoft intelli wireless keyboard. I took that out put the regular keyboard that came with Dell system. I also went and did one change in BIOS settings for Slackware to boot properly without hanging at "Keyboard Mapping". Do the following and it should solve the problem.
