You should talk to Kazu >(yokota@freebsd.org) if you want to help debugging this. Yes, the keyboard and the keyboard controller and their drivers may be confused if a key data is stuck in the buffer at certain moment. The keyboard driver tries to flush data queue before initialized the keyboard in order to avoid this. But, apparently it is failing to do so for you. If this happens now, it must have happned before as well... I will see how we can catch and fix this. In the meantime, please do not hold down a key for too long while the system is starting up :-) Kazu PS: it this machine, by any chance, based on MediaGX CPU?
