And same for any other kernel. That is needed since the keyboard
will not work in the kernel if you do
boot -c
Because Apple screwed something else up -- unlike all other vendors they
fail to impliment legacy keyboard emulation directly at the device level.
Heck, even in the ROM, their keyboard handling is busted (and needs a
workaround).
Hardly surprising. Apple. They build crap and make you pay extra.
