Can you try to load usbkbd module? see if that helps.

Are you using FAT or EXT partition? you will need extlinux for EXT and
make sure the parittion is bootable (i forget that many times)

Alpine will look for a directory containing apk's which has a hidden file:

.boot_repository

Can you check if this file is included in your local apk folder?
