I am experiencing similar problems with 6.2 BETA3 in a VMware session with encrypted root fs. When I boot with kbdmux enabled, I cannot enter anything. Turning it off changes the behavior to those "lost keystrokes". Sometimes I have to press the key about 20 times before anything actually happens. > I have had the same problem on my systems (without VMware or any other kind of emulation). Deactivating the kbdmux in (i think) /boot/device.hints was the solution to me. - Veronica
