known problem. as workaround you may use usb (ukbd(4)) keyboard. so
far i have traced this back to atkbd(4) driver now working very well
in "polled" mode. basically, when system boots (or drops into ddb(4))
interrupts are "disabled" and atkbd(4) should operate in
"polled"
mode. kbdmux(4) + ukbd(4) seems to work just fine, kbdmux(4) +
atkbd(4) is not. it may or may not be kbdmux(4) problem, but on thing
for sure - kbdmux(4) makes this problem appear.
i'm working on the fix, but i cannot give you eta yet.
thanks,
max
