I think you may have misunderstood what the get-key-map word does - my 
guess from browsing the source code is that it's related to locale, and 
even better there is already a version of it included in OpenBIOS (MOL 
section).

Take a look at arch/ppc/mol/methods.c to see how it's done there. It 
should be fairly easy to port this to the qemu under arch/ppc/qemu.

Similarly you can see how MOL sets up the keyboard alias by looking at 
arch/ppc/mol/mol.fs - you'll need to point it towards adb-keyboard but 
otherwise it looks correct. With both of these in place you should 
hopefully find that the keyboard becomes responsive and boot progresses 
further.


HTH,

Mark.
