If it printed the npx message then npx isn't the problem.

The debugger can be entered much earlier by booting with -d.  This
should work if booting with -c works (-d acts before -c so that you
can debug -c).  It probably won't work if the keyboard is the problem.
Use a serial console to debug keyboard problems.
