Re: GRUB with USB Keyboard

[Matthias Granberry]

I seem to have the same firmware bug.  It does the same thing for
DOS/windows up until something somewhere gets set and it lets me use
the USB keyboard.  I should probably poke around and see just where in
the linux source things start working, but I have lent my usb keyboard
to a mac-user...
