A recent build of 9.99.64 is more or less behaving the same, or worse on
this older MacBook2,1 -- the kernel loads, the video mode changes, and a
solid non-blinking block cursor appears in the top left, but the caps
lock key no longer does anything. A short press on the power button
does make the solid block cursor disappear.
