I'm sorry, I made a mistake in step 2.

step 2 should be:

press <F2>. after pressing <f2> press <enter>. Then type 'init 2 <ENTER>'.

So to recap:
1. In Workbench, press: <CTRL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE>. This brings you to the linux environment.
2. press <F2>. press <ENTER>. at the command prompt, type 'init 2 <ENTER>'
3. type 'setterm -inversescreen on <ENTER>'.
4. type 'e3 /Amiga/e-uae/hd_boot.uaerc <ENTER>'.
5. locate the following part: 'joyport=kbd1' and change it to 'joyport=joy1'.
6. press '<CTRL> + k + x' to save your changes. '<CTRL> + k + q' quits e3 without saving your changes.
edit: to be more precise: hold down <CTRL> key. then press 'k'. then press 'x'.
7. type 'init 5 <ENTER>'.

Pressing '<CTRL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE>' should bring you to the linux environment and you should see the AF loading screen. Then when you press '<F2>' you get the command prompt.

I also did an install to hd, so that should not be the culprit.

edit2: I just checked, it should also work when booting from the AF-CD/DVD. Only step 4 won't work when booting from CD, because the name of the config file is different when booting from CD.
Note that '<ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace>' all should be pressed at the same time.
