As another sort of me-to, I use a non-standard key board from an ols
lunch-box portable. It seems to have stopped working correctly in the
boot-loader/visual config, although it still works fine in single-user and
above. I mention this only in that it might be a useful data point, it
has never been enough of a hassle for me to try to understand exactally
what is going on, I just hook up a spare 101-key keyboard.
