OK I'm back at uni now and my spare PS/2 mouse and keyboard don't work either. 
I tried removing the waitfor line in the bootscript, enabling the syslog in the 
kernel conf and adding a sync to the end of the bootscript but still 
/Haiku/var/log is empty when I have a look at it in R5 later.

An advantage I have now is supported BeOS networking, so I can grab a current 
SVN and build my own and do some source-level investigation.

If I still get the same issue with a current SVN build put on the partition the 
proper way with jam then I can discount a lot of the possible problems with the 
downloaded build and my method of mounting and cp'ing it - so I'll add a bug 
then if it's still a problem.
